Funding is the lifeblood of any startup venture. Entrepreneurs seeking funding need to have a compelling case that includes a sound business plan and the structure they will use to be successful..

There are significant uncertainties in the evaluation and diligence process that will make or break the investment and have long term effects to ROI. The answer to many of these questions can be found on the surface. As an investor, there is not always time nor resources to effectively vet a potential investment opportunity. To truly succeed, it takes an expert that knows where to look and what questions to ask. You won’t be a great investor unless you see things others don’t see and make bets others are not willing to make.
