"Charles River Ventures, one of the nation’s oldest venture capital firms, has come up with an unusual program to attract promising entrepreneurs: It will offer loans of up to $250,000 to help them turn their ideas into fledgling businesses.
Doling out small loans is an unconventional strategy for a 36-year-old venture firm that has about $1.8 billion under management. But Charles River said it hoped that the program, to be announced Wednesday, would allow it to tap into a new generation of entrepreneurs who are increasingly starting companies on a shoestring. "
