Small Hi-Tech Company Dumps Banks, Twitters Technorati to Raise Funds

Dittmar Associates, a small, woman-owned company specializing in aerospace and high-tech sectors, recently celebrated winning a $1.2M contract - the largest in the company's 5-year history. But there was a catch. Banks wanted guarantees for all the money up front in order to advance the company a loan to cover up front costs. Rather than pay the banks, the company's owners decided to reach out to their peers - via Twitter.
