    Quotes: 

    “They had nothing but great things to say. I think at the end of the day, the most important thing is that reputation.” - Denis Shapiro 

    “If you're not willing to network when you're investing in private securities, you probably are gambling more than you should be.” - Denis Shapiro 

    “Learning that language is super, supercritical. Once you actually get to the conferences, network with a few people. And then this is the key. After the event, don't just say, hey, let's stay in touch. Say, hey, we're in December, how's January 5th?” - Denis Shapiro

    “I find that operators respond to you the quickest before you send the money in. I remember so many operators I've removed from my list because I would look at their debt.” - Denis Shapiro
