was the unscrupulous people who tried to make a fast buck off of the small
businesses and entrepreneurs. We created the Black Book as a free resource to
provide something special for small businesses and foster the entrepreneurial spirit
that drives the startup community.\"

\"It\'s great to be back in 2006 with a new directory.\" Forbes continued. \"There were
many changes within our directory of VCs and Angel investors --new firms have been
created, new funds have been raised, and new partners have been added. We make it
our mission to stay up to date with all the developments.\"

The Directory is available for free by signing up at:
