 David Kiger, the founder and CEO of
Worldwide Express, offers entrepreneurial
mentoring through his business-focused
website www.davidrkiger.com. The website
was launched in March 2013 in response to
the many questions Kiger had received
over the years from hopeful entrepreneurs
looking for start-up advice.
The object of the site is to open dialogue on
the secrets of running a successful business.
 Topics on the website vary, but some common
themes include building a strong executive
team and raising money—not only for the early
phases of growth, but to keep things running
smoothly as the company scales up. Kiger
advises entrepreneurs to try to raise more
money than they think they will need, in order
to avoid promising big pieces of the company
to investors down the line. Other frequent
topics on the site include the importance of
being true to the business model, secrets to
scaling a business, and techniques for honing a
growth strategy.
 Creating and sustaining a positive business
culture and many other issues that affect
small and medium-size businesses are also
addressed.
The website does not charge a fee for use,
but rather exists as a free resource for
budding entrepreneurs seeking guidance.
One of the site features is “Ask David,”
where visitors can write specific questions
that are personally answered by a
successful entrepreneur who made his idea
a profitable reality.
