If it doesn’t fit on the back of an envelope, count me out.
Many people don’t have the courage to admit that, they’d rather throw a 90 sheet excel document in your face and beg you for an opinion. To be honest, if sheet one doesn’t tell me everything I need to know, then you’re probably going to be left in the dirt.

There are precautionary steps to take in every market. You have to have an awareness of that when you begin meddling with big business. If you neglect that fact early in your career - then you lose your whole career before it was ever established.
If you choose to ruin your whole career before it was ever founded, then you choose to ruin your reputation before your name starts even getting to work. If your name doesn’t work then you’re destined for failure. You’re destined for disruptive gossip.
It is up to you to correct what is spoken about your name. No one is coming to save you, especially not the Joneses.

You can’t do wrong by people, especially people who have their whole lives ahead of them… Especially people who have access to a billion dollars with two phone calls.

That’s your lesson in raising capital, stupid fucks. Have fun at foreclosure auction. I’ll be on the steps waiting for your name to be relinquished from history. Sorry not sorry.
