On this episode we talk about VCs’ and Investors.  VC (venture capital) is a form of financing provided by investors to startup companies and small businesses with high growth potential. Venture capital firms invest in these companies in exchange for an ownership stake, usually in the form of equity shares. The goal of venture capital is to help these companies grow and become profitable, and to ultimately earn a return on their investment. Investors, on the other hand, are individuals or organizations that invest money in various assets or securities, including stocks, bonds, mutual funds, real estate, and more. Investors can range from small individual investors to large institutional investors such as pension funds and endowments. When looking for venture capital or investors, there are several things to consider: Investment strategy: It's important to understand the investment strategy of the VC or investor. Some focus on specific industries or stages of business development, while others have a broader investment mandate. Track record: Look at the track record of the VC or investor. Have they successfully invested in similar companies or industries in the past? Do they have a history of generating strong returns for their investors? Network and resources: Consider the VC or investor's network and resources. Can they help your business grow by providing access to key contacts, expertise, and resources? Fit and alignment: It's important to find a VC or investor that aligns with your business goals and values. Look for someone who is a good fit with your team and can provide the support you need to achieve your business objectives. Terms and conditions: Finally, be sure to carefully review the terms and conditions of any investment offer. Make sure you fully understand the terms and are comfortable with the investment structure and potential risks involved.  Keenan touch on all these items and much more. #venturecapital #startups #investing #entrepreneurship #smallbusiness #investors #investmentstrategy #businessgrowth #networking #businessgoals #termsandconditions #financialplanning #successfultips #keyfactors #financialadvice #funding #capitalinvestment #businessdevelopment #angelinvestors #seedfunding #growthfunding #startupfunding #earlystageinvesting
