Entrepreneurship is about freedom. But if you take investments, how much freedom are you giving up?

It’s Q&A Wednesday, and we’ve got a listener in a fairly common pickle. They started a business, grew it, and it’s doing great. The only problem: our listener can see that the business has hit a plateau — and the only way to grow is to get a little help from outside.

Is it worth it? Is it possible to maintain control of “your” business after it becomes (partially) someone else’s?

In this episode, we discuss what the founder/investor relationship can look like, and how to decide whether it’s right for you. We’ll discuss what to consider before making this very big decision, and how much autonomy is really possible with an investor to answer to.

There’s no right or wrong to this one: there’s only knowing exactly what you want out of your own business, so you can determine whether an investor will help you get there or not. Click Play!
