Also known as self-capitalization, this is how most start-ups actually capitalize themselves. Sources of bootstrap capital include: soft capital (Mom/Dad/Rich Uncle Buck), home equity loans, supplier credit, consulting, credit cards, retainers, deposits, progress payments, receivables factoring, partners, sponsorships, guarantors, pre-sales, launch clients and more. Bootstrap capital allows the ownership to keep control of their own enterprises and not lose them to VCs and other debt or equity holders.

"Angel-funded" describes a business entity that is funded by "angel investors". Angel investors are venture-capital investors who are willing to invest a large amount of money in a startup in exchange for a large stake in ownership / a large share in returns.

The most safe school in America! Noone ever does anyting wrong... nearly! The angel-school is located in the angel-capital Seattle. Old men call HIMS the "angel factory", cause they send in their bad kids... AND OUT COMES ANGELS!
The bad guys at HIMS, Trenton and Melvin, faked their hallroom passes! This is the worst thing that has ever happened to the "angel-reputation" of HIMS. The principal and angel teachers are working hard to win the much beloved reputation back.
Of course, HIMS-students actually are sexy badasses. But they pretend to be innocent at school.

Unofficially the second most populous city in Connecticut (soon to be confirmed by census results). A great city that has driven economic growth and population expansion primarily through its focus on the finance and film industries. While commended nationally for its low crime rate, Stamford also serves as the unofficial PCP capital of Connecticut. The illicit substance's use has been prominent in low income areas of the city since the 1990's. However, in recent years the commonality of its use has rivaled that of marijuana. The issue has only recently come to light due to multiple high profile crimes committed by persons under the influence of this substance. These crimes included multiple intentional vehicular assaults targeting civilians and police officers as well as the shooting in the face of a police officer by an individual under the influence of PCP. In essence, the abuse of this substance has proliferated virtually unrecognized for nearly two decades and has only come to light recently due to high profile crimes involving the drug. Nonetheless, Stamford remains the safest large city in Connecticut despite the rampant PCP use that underlies its successes.

The most boring city ever, despite the fact that it's fairly big. It’s the capital of California. It has no real ghettos. The closest thing it has to a ghetto is Del Paso Heights, which isn't really that bad. It also has only a couple really affluent neighborhoods, so pretty much 98% of Sacramento is middle class. Sacramento has no real uniqueness or culture like other cities. The only thing that's sort of unique is the old Victorian-era houses that are downtown, a few blocks from the government buildings. Yeah, it has clubs, bars, and restaurants, but every city has that. None of them are particularly interesting.

The weather sucks. In the fall, winter, and spring it gets cold and rains, but it never EVER snows except up in the Sierra Nevada mountains, which are about 40 miles from the city. Because of this, you will never get to make a snowman, make a snow angel, or have a snowball fight unless you take a trip to the mountains. In the summer it gets really hot, and is over 90° F for most of June, July, August, September, and the first half of October. Sometime in October the weather switches from really hot to rainy and cold, as mentioned above. So the weather is pretty much never good, except maybe in April and May.

One good thing about Sacramento is that there are a lot of different races and nationalities living here, and there isn’t much racism. There is a large Russian and Ukrain...
