Very few do. The difference in age of those receiving capital has to do with pitch ratios. When I was 18 I would have pitched for $100K that seemed like a huge sum of money then. That was a years salary back in 1997. Now if you want 25% of

Optimism rather than fact. There is a lot more to it. I am pretty well known as an SEO, and while I would love this to be true it isn't. Google's improvements to GoogleBot are mostly targeting spam, and obfuscation of content. The
