How Well Do You Know This Investor?

One of the closest partners

10

Mike is by far the best investor I've ever had and worked with. No one even comes close. A litmus test I use for investors is what it'd be like if I were stuck at sea in a storm with them trying to find undiscovered land. Some investors would bark orders at you, others would jump ship and some would try and replace you. Mike not only rolls up his sleeves to help, he'd continue to believe in you as the captain of the ship. So if you ever have the chance, go find your own "New World" with him!
