Bill and Megan Tempelton Are Planning to Open a Smoothie

Bill and Megan Tempelton are planning to open a smoothie restaurant near a large soccer complex in Greeley, Colorado, and need $75,000 to get started. They have $15,000 of their own money, which leaves $60,000. After getting turned down by a couple of banks, they decided to turn to their relatives and acquaintances for help. Fortunately, they were able to raise the money through a gift from Bill's grandfather, a loan from Megan's parents, and a small investment by Bill's best friend in college, Kevin. The money that an entrepreneur raises in this manner is referred to as:

A) friends and family
B) bootstrapping
C) networking money
D) compassion money
E) legacy money
