Is Your Banker Fundraising for you? Five things your banker must deliver: Ask Ed

I’ve always thought of my banker as the guy referred to me by the VC funding us. It looks like the new banker is more than a piggy bank and fully on the Web2.0 bandwagon. They are offering unprecedented degree of strategic services, networking, community, and access. I hear they’re now pitching your business for fundraising, recruiting, driving buzz and more!
