Here's a revised version of your resume; let me know if you'd like any further changes. I also want to tweak one thing, but needed info first - was Web Solutions in the business of building websites for those firms listed, in addition to raising capital for start-ups? Let me know and I'll add to that section accordingly.

Thanks,
