During Episode 104 – Investment Evaluation we visit with Mark November, an impact investor that has been operating and investing in businesses for over 50 years.  He is a Board Member, Founder, Accelerator, Mentor, runs his Family Office, and is a moonshot investor.

Mark is currently the Founder of Venture Starters, the largest community of startup founders, investors, and people who want to join startup teams.

During this information-rich episode we discuss various types of risks that become obstacles for start-ups and growth companies from an investor’s point of view. 

The conversation was extensive and the insights abundant, so we minimized editing and decided to split it into two podcast episodes while leaving the YouTube version in its original length.

Key takeaways include:

·       Develop the right tools and resources for success that enable your business to move beyond the “being stuck” points in the growth cycle.

·       Identifying the red flags that may give investors concern.

·       Venture Starters a forum for founders, investors, and supporters to come together.

While this episode has a focus on business leaders and investors, bankers and lenders will gain insights that may assist them navigating through this period of higher interest rates and better understanding how to identify successful borrowers.
