the game.
Welcome to Back to the
21
00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:31,600
Compassionate Capitalist show.
And you know I love it when I
22
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:35,680
get an investor on the father
has worn all the hats, right?
23
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:39,320
So they've invented things,
they've launched companies,
24
00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:42,320
they've invested, they've
mentored, they've raised
25
00:01:42,320 --> 00:01:45,600
capital.
They continue to innovate, they
26
00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:48,920
continue to invest, they
continue to be a thought leader
27
00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:51,560
in the marketplace.
And that's my guest today, Alan
28
00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:54,480
Kadish.
He has vast experience as an
29
00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:58,880
innovator.
He invented a fireproof zipper
30
00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:04,000
system, some kind of it really
it stands, it stands the the
31
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:09,360
gambit here, a cover for a
surfboard and then leading into
32
00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:14,160
it like some noise and hearing
solutions into BioMed tech,
33
00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:18,400
bioengineering, food.
I get this.
34
00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:23,160
It's just like it's a full
spectrum more awards and and
35
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:26,040
recognition than can be really
mentioned in the time that we
36
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:28,280
have here.
When you go through his dossier,
37
00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:31,960
he's mentored and raised capital
for multiple companies.
38
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:36,000
He's invested in probably 30 to
40 different things directly and
39
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:39,360
through Angel groups.
He's still active over at the
40
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:44,280
Oregon State University as an an
advisor in the biomechanical
41
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:48,920
engineering area there, as well
as with agricultural research
42
00:02:48,920 --> 00:02:53,440
and development and the creating
bio articles, all that he's
43
00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:58,320
worked within the stem cell
industry, a full scope of of
44
00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:01,840
experiences out there, whether
he's what he's been working on.
45
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:05,920
And today we're going to talk
about all of those experiences
46
00:03:05,920 --> 00:03:09,080
on both sides of the table in
the 30 minutes or so that we
47
00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:13,920
have and, and kind of get into
some of the really exciting
48
00:03:13,920 --> 00:03:16,680
stuff he's doing right now.
That is AI enabled.
49
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:23,120
That is is common to my mission,
which is creating the ecosystems
50
00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:27,120
and providing access to capital
for entrepreneurs so they can
51
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:30,480
get better access to capital.
But if you kind of flip in the
52
00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:34,800
way that the approach to that,
when we did our pre call and got
53
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:37,400
to know each other a little bit,
I was like, this is you're doing
54
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:41,760
exactly what I had envisioned 10
or 15 years ago needed in the
55
00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:45,480
marketplace and the technology
wasn't really there to do it
56
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:48,560
like it's being done now and
what and what he's invent.
57
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:51,840
And that's with investor match
dot AI, which if you're watching
58
00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:55,600
the podcast, you can see it
underneath his his name for
59
00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:58,320
Doctor Alan Katish here.
So with all of that, I'm going
60
00:03:58,320 --> 00:03:59,760
to say, hey, welcome to the
show.
61
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:02,880
Alan is great to have you on the
compassionate capitalist show.
62
00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:04,840
Excited about the conversation
we're going to have today.
63
00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:09,240
Likewise likewise.
So I have to say, you know,
64
00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:13,200
going from surfing to
bioparticles, right?
65
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:17,079
And a little stem cell mixed in.
So were you like a surfer from
66
00:04:17,079 --> 00:04:21,600
way back in the day that you had
to do was really part of the
67
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:24,280
bio?
It was a precursor to bio
68
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:28,120
technology and the interface.
Like connect the dots on that
69
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:31,960
for me.
OK, so my surfing acumen is
70
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:33,920
pretty piss poor to say the
least.
71
00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:36,200
My brother is really the key
behind that.
72
00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:41,360
It was a conversation we had and
too much sand in his car was
73
00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:44,520
where that that landed up.
So that was just one of those
74
00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:48,360
crazy offshoots as part of one
of my SAS plays called
75
00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:50,720
pureliving.com which still
exists very much.
76
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:54,520
So there was a question that was
posed by one of the bed
77
00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:58,960
manufacturers about avoiding
some issues for fire proofing
78
00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:05,120
agents and on the back of a
napkin back in 2000, I think 5.
79
00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:07,400
It might be a little earlier
than that.
80
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:12,760
I created a circumstance that's
still in use today with a group
81
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:17,800
known as Savvy Rest.
With that said, no, I've I've
82
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:20,960
just got a lot of interest and
things just seem to fall into
83
00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:22,920
place.
It's not like this was all
84
00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:25,760
planned by any stretch.
I would deny that.
85
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:31,040
So our bioparticles is a really
interesting project where we
86
00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:36,000
literally take bugs, We custom
manufacture adna that's inserted
87
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:39,480
into their mechanism of action.
They produce for us a really
88
00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:44,320
cool, in this case a biobead
that's a naturally occurring
89
00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:47,240
fatty acid that you and I have
in our gut and then we have
90
00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:52,720
protein to it that in this case,
the original application was to
91
00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:56,560
address Listeria and
Campylobacter infections that we
92
00:05:56,560 --> 00:06:01,160
get from contaminated food.
Its intent is to spray it onto
93
00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:05,360
different types of food wrap and
we're basically about a year
94
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:07,320
away from put bringing that to
market.
95
00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:12,400
So that's just one of the crazy
other pieces, the Oregon State
96
00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:15,320
bid.
I got frustrated.
97
00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:17,800
We were trying to make some
things with a whole different
98
00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:20,040
company having nothing to do
with what I've talked about.
99
00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:23,480
We were using some bio
fermentors that were incredibly
100
00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:26,040
expensive and horribly old and
decrepit.
101
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:28,800
And I was tasked with buying a
new one.
102
00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:33,280
And when I came up with the
pricing, which was 6 figures and
103
00:06:33,280 --> 00:06:36,520
change, the CEO looked at me and
said we don't have that type of
104
00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:41,720
money, what do you want to do?
And I said, well, we can buy
105
00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:45,760
used ridiculously expensive and
we're still facing the same
106
00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:48,600
circumstance of is it even going
to work?
107
00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:51,160
And are we going to have to slap
it half the time to get it to
108
00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:54,600
work or are we just buying a pig
in a poke?
109
00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:56,720
And he said, well, do you have
another option?
110
00:06:57,240 --> 00:07:01,440
At that point the company went
under and I looking at it and I
111
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:05,040
kept saying, you know, there is
a solution here.
112
00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:07,640
I just have to think through the
process and sure enough, it
113
00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:11,720
turns out that with the current
availability of incredibly
114
00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:15,840
robust filaments for the 3D
industry, you can make auto
115
00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:19,760
clavable products instead of the
stainless steel and custom glass
116
00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:21,240
products that are currently in
use.
117
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:24,040
That's how that came about.
So I designed one.
118
00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:28,120
It was a need.
I don't know, I keep going, but
119
00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:29,520
you tell me directly.
Well, yeah.
120
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:33,080
So that's, you know, that's, I
mean, that is, you know, I guess
121
00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:38,600
sort of like the DNA of an
innovator is seeing a problem
122
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:40,480
and figuring out how to solve
it.
123
00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:44,360
And then as part of kind of what
we're talking about today is,
124
00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:49,480
you know, entrepreneur success,
often time is subject to right
125
00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:51,800
people, right place, right time,
right.
126
00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:54,640
That's what we had.
That's exactly my markup.
127
00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:58,600
Right.
And so, you know, there's the, I
128
00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:02,160
mean, we can look at all kinds
of innovation over, you know,
129
00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:05,760
generations of innovation.
And that just was before its
130
00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:07,760
time, right?
You hear that term, It's before
131
00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:10,200
it was before its time.
It would have been great had,
132
00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:15,080
you know, I mean, quite frankly,
what I'm working on with, you
133
00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:18,240
know, elevating that, that
investing in entrepreneurs as an
134
00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:23,400
asset class is something that
anybody can do that it is does
135
00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:26,400
it doesn't need to be as risky
as people say it is, if you know
136
00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:29,320
how to do it right.
It's kind of coming into its
137
00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:34,240
right place and right time right
now because people are really
138
00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:38,080
wanting to figure out
alternatives to what they have
139
00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:42,559
been sort of geared up to do is
real estate investing And stock
140
00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:45,440
market used to be a lot more
predictable and you could do the
141
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:48,400
research on a stock and then
know you could buy it.
142
00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:50,320
And if odds were it was going to
go up.
143
00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:53,880
But now there's so many variable
factors that affect the success
144
00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:55,720
of a stock market that have
nothing to do with the
145
00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:59,080
performance of a of a company.
And they're, you know, what
146
00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:01,240
they're doing.
It's, you know, things, a lot of
147
00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:02,600
things that are outside their
control.
148
00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:05,440
So, you know, it's great to have
these other options and people
149
00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:07,880
are looking for it.
So, you know, my books and the
150
00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:09,720
education are all kind of part
of that.
151
00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:14,600
And I think what you've done
with investor match AI is all
152
00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:19,040
about that part of that piece
too, because we're going to dig
153
00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:21,880
into that.
But I, I want to, you know,
154
00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:24,400
because that's one of the
challenges that a lot of times
155
00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:27,560
in the current way, back when I
was running my Angel group, the
156
00:09:27,560 --> 00:09:31,800
way people raise capital at that
time was an inefficient model.
157
00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:38,400
And it's not necessarily gotten,
It's gotten, there's a lot more
158
00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:41,760
noise, just like with anything
else, because of the digital
159
00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:46,560
platforms of Zoom calls.
And you know, with these ways
160
00:09:46,560 --> 00:09:50,440
that people do and even the
crowdfunding platforms, there's
161
00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:56,480
just there's there entrepreneurs
have a voice, they have a way to
162
00:09:56,480 --> 00:09:59,520
be out there.
But now there's so many more,
163
00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:03,000
it's even harder for on for
investors to necessarily
164
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:07,120
discern, you know, because
there's, it's just it, there's
165
00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:14,040
just, it's with the pathways of
this, it just becomes bigger and
166
00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:16,760
louder.
I guess it's probably the better
167
00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:21,120
way to describe it.
So let's go ahead and talk about
168
00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:26,440
why you were inspired to build
investor Match AI and, and
169
00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:30,160
shared, you know, maybe a part
of your experience as an Angel
170
00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:33,240
investor that kind of led you
into that as well.
171
00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:35,600
And, and some of the key, key
components of it.
172
00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:39,520
I won't steal your Thunder and
describing what it does with
173
00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:46,000
their smart AI algorithms.
So this came as you described,
174
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:47,760
Karen.
It's all about finding a
175
00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:51,920
problem.
My multiple decades of friends
176
00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:57,000
in the founder, funder and
vendor arena were really
177
00:10:57,000 --> 00:11:00,320
bitching and moaning.
It was just came down to a lot
178
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:04,520
of people were really unhappy
and I thought to myself, what's
179
00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:07,160
the problem?
Why are so many people in
180
00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:10,320
various verticals telling me the
same thing?
181
00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:16,040
Unhappiness, lots of wasted
time, loads of inefficiencies
182
00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:21,320
and just not a successful
integration where they should
183
00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:25,240
have had a good experience.
So a couple of us sat down
184
00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:29,720
together, other people like
myself who have had exits have
185
00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:31,800
been entrepreneurs and our
investors.
186
00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:34,880
And I said, so let's have a
conversation.
187
00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:38,680
And it became incredibly clear,
as I mentioned to you earlier,
188
00:11:38,680 --> 00:11:41,640
which was write people, right
place, right time.
189
00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:45,920
And then I said, OK, well,
that's all great, but how do we
190
00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:49,200
transform that?
And from that became the
191
00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:51,480
platform known as investor match
dot AI.
192
00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:55,600
What is it?
It's all about fidelity.
193
00:11:55,640 --> 00:11:59,400
I thought to myself, I know what
I need to write a check.
194
00:11:59,960 --> 00:12:02,400
I need a lot of data, a lot of
data.
195
00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:05,120
I'm not just going to because it
sounds like a great idea.
196
00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:08,680
I've done this before, sorry,
many years ago, I used to wow,
197
00:12:08,680 --> 00:12:10,440
great idea, sounds great.
Go for it.
198
00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:13,160
It was funny.
I'm only doing that.
199
00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:17,240
That was that was a big mistake.
I need a data set that's pretty
200
00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:21,840
much going to give me the, you
know, these folks have four or
201
00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:25,720
five parameters that really meet
my thesis, and I understand what
202
00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:27,560
they're doing.
Totally.
203
00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:30,040
It's not.
Yeah, I kind of understand it.
204
00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:33,920
No, I really get it.
And quite frankly, I like these
205
00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:35,360
people.
They're going to go somewhere.
206
00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:39,720
I have a gut instinct that's
been pretty good, not great, but
207
00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:42,720
pretty good to let me know these
are folks who are going to be
208
00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:46,560
persistent, consistent.
They've got fire in their belly,
209
00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:50,480
and they're coachable.
In addition to that, they have a
210
00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:52,200
business plan that makes some
sense.
211
00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:55,280
It's not just pie in the sky in
the back of a napkin there.
212
00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:59,360
There's some real serious meat
on the phone here that yeah,
213
00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:02,600
this looks like it could go
somewhere, not only to help
214
00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:06,840
people in terms of technology,
but also as a financial
215
00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:09,400
investment to be worth my time
and trouble.
216
00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:15,840
So what happened?
Hundreds of questions later, we
217
00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:17,920
discilled this and yes, it's all
logic driven.
218
00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:20,920
So anyone who just heard that
statement and is going OMG, no,
219
00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:23,400
no, stop, full stop, just time
out.
220
00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:26,840
The bottom line here is it's all
logic driven.
221
00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:33,000
So whether you're a precede all
the way to a Series B, you're
222
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:39,040
still in ideation mode or you're
ready for an IPO regardless of
223
00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:41,400
the industry because it's
industry agnostic.
224
00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:45,600
But, and here's one of the
differentiators, Please don't
225
00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:47,720
tell me you're fintech or
something of that sort.
226
00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:49,960
You're wasting my time and your
time.
227
00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:52,600
That doesn't tell me anything.
I've got a car.
228
00:13:52,680 --> 00:13:55,240
Yeah.
So that doesn't help either of
229
00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:57,000
us.
That's that's ridiculous.
230
00:13:57,000 --> 00:14:00,000
We need the rest of the story.
Right.
231
00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:03,880
Paul Harvey rest of the story
really truly is resonant here.
232
00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:06,920
I want details and I want
granularity.
233
00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:12,120
So we are industry agnostic.
However, technology and life
234
00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:17,480
sciences by far predominate the
groups that apply in our
235
00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:20,280
platform.
It is private, public and
236
00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:22,800
commercial funding and it's
global in scope.
237
00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:27,240
That's the basic overview of
investor match.
238
00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:31,240
It's a constantly evolving
platform.
239
00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:34,200
So it's not one of those set in
stone by any stretch.
240
00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:39,040
So as an example, maybe you want
debt revenue based funding,
241
00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:41,720
great, no problem.
We have people who do that.
242
00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:48,120
We've accumulated just short of
6 figures worth of funders from
243
00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:51,680
everywhere under the planet, you
name it, we've probably got
244
00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:54,600
someone who, oh, we resonate
with that we can understand
245
00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:59,880
where you're at.
And then to pivot a bit, I said,
246
00:14:59,880 --> 00:15:04,560
you know, this could be an
awesome platform, but what about
247
00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:06,560
the financials?
And people always ask me.
248
00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:09,400
So I'm going to tell you it is
free for founders.
249
00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:12,200
Let's get clear on that right
from the onset of this
250
00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:15,600
conversation.
I don't understand why people
251
00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:19,640
and many organizations are
basically here's people begging
252
00:15:19,640 --> 00:15:22,920
for bucks and you're telling
them, give me the hundreds of
253
00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:26,720
dollars or thousands of dollars.
There's something wrong it that
254
00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:30,400
doesn't resonate with me.
And maybe it's just because I've
255
00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:34,280
done well enough not to have to
do that, but I just think that's
256
00:15:34,280 --> 00:15:36,960
wrong.
On the other hand, funders have
257
00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:39,240
money.
Vendors with a successful
258
00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:42,520
contract have funding.
There's where the money is.
259
00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:44,880
That's who pays for our
platform.
260
00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:49,440
So if you are a founder, there
seriously is no way to give us
261
00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:51,240
your credit card.
I won't take it.
262
00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:55,840
And it's also educational.
I, I think this is another piece
263
00:15:55,960 --> 00:15:59,560
not unlike your book.
Many people are starting this
264
00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:02,840
process and they may not be
familiar with the level of due
265
00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:06,760
diligence that someone's going
to inevitably go.
266
00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:10,000
You know, I need the rest of the
story here, guys.
267
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:15,040
Whether it's your IP, whether
it's your corporate paperwork, I
268
00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:18,960
need to know what you got.
We are in this process and if
269
00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:23,240
you have this information,
awesome, we can accelerate the
270
00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:26,960
connection.
The other piece that's different
271
00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:30,920
about why we did it this way.
I'm not interested in
272
00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:34,000
introducing you to someone who
doesn't get you, and I don't
273
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:37,080
want you wasting your time.
And more importantly, you're
274
00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:41,080
wasting their time leaving a bad
taste in everyone's mouth which
275
00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:45,440
ultimately results in less than
optimal attitude.
276
00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:49,320
In this case, people know
exactly who, what, when, where,
277
00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:51,840
and are you aligned?
If you're not, We don't make an
278
00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:53,920
introduction.
Plain and simple, if you're
279
00:16:53,920 --> 00:16:57,640
aligned, they already have a
data set that tells them not to
280
00:16:57,640 --> 00:16:59,360
ask dumb questions.
I'm sorry.
281
00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:01,120
I I know it's not dumb
questions.
282
00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:03,040
It's just repetitive and
annoying.
283
00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:06,520
I'm sure Eddie, who's a founder,
who's been there it goes.
284
00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:09,240
And you're asking me the same
questions about my team.
285
00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:12,760
Here's all the details.
Where did they go to school?
286
00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:14,000
How long have I worked with
them?
287
00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:17,280
Do I know these folks?
What's their pedigree?
288
00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:22,280
Come on, you don't have to ask
those questions if you have a
289
00:17:22,280 --> 00:17:24,720
proper data set, which is what
we provide.
290
00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:28,920
So it eliminates a lot of the
back and forth, cuts the time,
291
00:17:29,360 --> 00:17:33,000
cuts the frustration and makes
the connections efficient.
292
00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:39,040
If you're a funder, you can use
us, as many do for a front end.
293
00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:43,160
Look, if you're funding folks,
you and I both know you're going
294
00:17:43,160 --> 00:17:46,200
to do due diligence at a fairly
high level these days.
295
00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:49,120
It's not what happened 10 years
ago.
296
00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:50,560
You're not just going to write a
check.
297
00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:53,280
You're going to want to know the
rest of the information that's
298
00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:56,240
salient.
With that said, using our
299
00:17:56,240 --> 00:18:00,320
platform, Easy Stevie, all there
does it meet your criteria and
300
00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:02,960
your thesis.
You tell us what it is, we'll
301
00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:05,960
tell you if there's a match.
If there's matches, awesome,
302
00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:10,640
Contact these folks.
If it's not, be nice, send them
303
00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:14,360
an e-mail and say hey, you're
not in our thesis, perhaps in
304
00:18:14,360 --> 00:18:17,320
the future, or maybe we can make
a suggestion on who might be a
305
00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:21,200
more appropriate connection.
Everyone walks away limiting
306
00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:25,280
their time loss and more
importantly, making connections
307
00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:29,120
that are really worthwhile.
If you're a vendor and you're
308
00:18:29,120 --> 00:18:32,240
supplying something to the
startup community, guess what?
309
00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:36,240
We only send you leads that are
appropriate.
310
00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:39,400
And when I say that the people
of that who are onboarding have
311
00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:43,080
asked specifically, do you have
as an example someone who'll
312
00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:47,640
help us with our cap table and
corporation SoC 2, whatever,
313
00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:51,320
doesn't matter.
Yes, we have people who we've
314
00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:53,440
really vetted who know their
stuff.
315
00:18:53,560 --> 00:18:57,640
We're going to really be
appropriate for your assistance.
316
00:18:58,080 --> 00:18:59,960
Yeah.
That's how the platform's laid
317
00:18:59,960 --> 00:19:02,120
out.
It's straightforward, it's easy
318
00:19:02,120 --> 00:19:04,440
to use, and again, it is truly
free.
319
00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:06,480
For our founders.
There's no gossip.
320
00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:10,960
Well, I've, uh, started going
through it with a client I'm
321
00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:15,200
working with that I'm invested
in that, you know, I think it
322
00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:19,200
really the fact that you gather
as much information, you know,
323
00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:22,600
because one of the big
challenges with raising capital
324
00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:28,960
is that attention span and to
get into, to get an investor
325
00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:34,360
interested enough to get all the
information that you asked for
326
00:19:34,360 --> 00:19:37,080
in the app.
You know, they have to it.
327
00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:43,120
It's like a, a really tricky
process that because you know,
328
00:19:43,120 --> 00:19:46,280
I, I go back to when I first
took over the Angel investor
329
00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:51,880
group and I, they were, we were
doing 9 minute presentations, I
330
00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:55,560
guess with like 10 minute QA,
like 20 minutes all together.
331
00:19:55,960 --> 00:20:01,400
And I was looking at creating a
20 minute, you know, like, oh,
332
00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:04,520
let's do 20 minute presentations
and 10 minute QA, like 30
333
00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:11,640
minutes with the company itself.
And I was attending a regional
334
00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:14,960
venture capital type of event
and they were talking, they were
335
00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:17,040
going to do these things.
It was going to be 6 minutes.
336
00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:21,720
And I was out have a coffee with
some of the other investors and
337
00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:25,240
VCs from the area.
And I would, you know, I and I
338
00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:30,560
said 6 minutes, how can somebody
tell their story in 6 minutes?
339
00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:32,760
How can you know that you're
going to invest in this?
340
00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:34,080
I'll never forget Stephen
Fleming.
341
00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:37,120
He used to run our incubator at
our Georgia Tech here.
342
00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:41,640
He said, oh, I'm not making a
decision in 6 minutes.
343
00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:44,960
What happens is in the 1st 90
seconds I decide if I want to
344
00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:48,720
listen to 1st 6 minutes and in
that first 6 minutes I decide if
345
00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:52,560
I want to have a meeting with
them or ask them any additional
346
00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:55,520
questions.
If they can't tell me at the at
347
00:20:55,520 --> 00:20:59,520
the very basic why I'm
interested in spending any more
348
00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:02,360
time with them in 6 minutes,
they don't know their industry
349
00:21:02,360 --> 00:21:03,640
enough.
They don't know their product
350
00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:04,600
enough.
They don't know the problem,
351
00:21:04,600 --> 00:21:08,920
blah, blah, blah, whatever it is
enough so that it's worth my
352
00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:13,200
time, right.
And so you get those in like a
353
00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:18,480
pitch event to a certain degree,
but it's so hard with this short
354
00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:22,520
attention span that people have
have cultivated these days as a
355
00:21:22,520 --> 00:21:25,360
thing to get to that point
really fast.
356
00:21:25,800 --> 00:21:30,520
And so having a committed, like
a, you know, that the investors
357
00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:35,520
in your or in your network and
investor match AI are looking,
358
00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:37,880
they're serious.
You know, I tell people there's
359
00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:39,640
a difference between a business
Angel.
360
00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:40,960
It's in the business of
investing.
361
00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:43,360
They're looking for deals.
I know they're going to do X
362
00:21:43,360 --> 00:21:47,000
number deals, invest X amount of
money this year, whatever
363
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:50,040
they're looking for that.
And so they are consciously,
364
00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:55,280
actively trying to eliminate,
you know, and, and I, you know,
365
00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:58,600
it's the elimination like they
look for the reasons not to say
366
00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:03,600
yes, for the reasons to say no.
So they can eliminate, they can
367
00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:05,880
reduce it down to the two or
three that they're going to
368
00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:09,000
spend time on.
And your platform does that
369
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:11,080
forum.
So they can very quickly get to
370
00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:13,280
the two or three they want to
spend time on.
371
00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:17,480
So it's a real productivity tool
for the potential investors
372
00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:21,080
because you know that you know
that they don't know what they
373
00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:23,080
don't know to look like.
It's ones that are really
374
00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:26,000
serious have sort of they all
have this hidden checklist like
375
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:29,160
I'm never doing that again.
Because when they first got
376
00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:31,320
started, they made, you know,
they didn't know what they
377
00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:35,280
didn't know and made some say
some things and they'll, they,
378
00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:39,680
they form this list of what it
is that they're looking for to
379
00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:44,680
avoid the next time in, you
know, I So to your point, like
380
00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:46,400
you say, help with the cap
table.
381
00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:51,480
I think one of the things that
entrepreneurs do not have any,
382
00:22:51,920 --> 00:22:57,160
most of them, 90% of them have
no idea what role the cap table
383
00:22:57,280 --> 00:23:02,200
plays in their story.
And it is, in my opinion, I
384
00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:03,560
like, I want your opinion on
this.
385
00:23:03,560 --> 00:23:07,440
My opinion.
It, it tells the story that they
386
00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:11,200
know they're going to be raising
capital and they're thinking
387
00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:13,960
long term of how they're going
to get to the exit, how they're
388
00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:17,280
going to reach their number.
And they are planning ahead of
389
00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:20,480
what value they're going to
drive for this stock is worth
390
00:23:20,480 --> 00:23:22,520
this today.
Then we're going to accomplish
391
00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:24,480
this stuff and then it's going
to be worth this.
392
00:23:24,480 --> 00:23:26,400
We'll raise money at that.
And then it's going to be worth
393
00:23:26,440 --> 00:23:27,360
this.
And then we exit.
394
00:23:27,880 --> 00:23:31,200
And the cap table tells that
story, similar to how a
395
00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:34,720
financial forecast will tell the
story is that how do you view
396
00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:36,560
the cap table?
Oh, it's exactly that.
397
00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:44,160
And it's precisely that look
first, at least in the precede
398
00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:46,720
end of things, before there's a
revenue stream that you can
399
00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:49,080
start doing some sort of real
assessment.
400
00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:54,200
You don't know, you don't know.
And there's a balance between
401
00:23:54,680 --> 00:23:57,880
what do you think is the value?
Where are you headed?
402
00:23:57,880 --> 00:24:01,280
You don't know, so you've got to
make reasonable guesses that are
403
00:24:01,280 --> 00:24:04,000
appropriate for that industry,
etcetera.
404
00:24:06,120 --> 00:24:08,960
And you're right.
Do you want to over value?
405
00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:12,280
I mean, I, I will tell you many
stories about we'll get someone
406
00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:15,280
who tells us it's going to be a
multi billion dollar firm within
407
00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:18,840
months that it's like, yeah, I
don't think so.
408
00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:20,640
I'm I'm sorry.
That's great.
409
00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:23,400
I I'd love to see your success
at that level and I'd love to
410
00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:28,200
participate, but the likelihood,
So what fraction of a fraction
411
00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:32,640
of a fraction of a percent is
that that's not called deploy
412
00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:34,080
funds.
That doesn't work.
413
00:24:34,320 --> 00:24:36,400
If I did that, I'd be broke long
ago.
414
00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:41,400
So it has to be reasonable.
Both the and the other piece
415
00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:44,120
that I think is different,
there's 22 pieces I want to
416
00:24:44,360 --> 00:24:50,560
intersect on your comment.
One is competition is absolutely
417
00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:55,440
staggering for any of us who
have made any investments.
418
00:24:55,440 --> 00:24:58,720
I don't care whether you're an
Angel, you're an LP, you're
419
00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:01,960
involved in a family office.
We are getting inundated.
420
00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:07,440
And I don't mean minimally.
I literally fight my e-mail
421
00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:09,920
every morning.
It's it's a challenge.
422
00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:12,120
There's some great things
happening.
423
00:25:12,280 --> 00:25:14,680
Truly.
I want to be very, very clear.
424
00:25:15,720 --> 00:25:20,360
I attend every week multiple
group settings where we're
425
00:25:20,360 --> 00:25:25,120
pitched and there are amazing,
amazing technologies coming to
426
00:25:25,120 --> 00:25:29,600
bear that are truly, truly going
to impact you and I Be it
427
00:25:29,600 --> 00:25:34,720
medical, be it just in the daily
doings of your day, great
428
00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:38,080
stuff's happening.
Will all of it be funded?
429
00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:41,000
Oh, good gosh.
No, absolutely, positively not.
430
00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:46,400
In some of the areas that I'm
involved in as a physician, I'm
431
00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:48,960
looking at is there something
that I can utilize for my
432
00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:52,600
patients that's more appropriate
and even in the diagnostic
433
00:25:52,600 --> 00:25:55,320
field, the overlap and how many
people?
434
00:25:55,560 --> 00:26:00,000
I just yesterday I took a call
and I think the person was a
435
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:01,680
little surprised that I knew is
chemistry.
436
00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:05,160
But basically in this case it's
an oncology product.
437
00:26:05,560 --> 00:26:09,360
I just saw three competitors in
the same market within a matter
438
00:26:09,360 --> 00:26:15,280
of two weeks.
Well, Gee, what do I do with
439
00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:17,360
that?
I mean, I understand the
440
00:26:17,360 --> 00:26:23,040
chemistries, I saw their
financials, but do I know who's
441
00:26:23,040 --> 00:26:27,120
going to be a winner in this
very competitive field?
442
00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:29,520
Not really.
Not really.
443
00:26:29,520 --> 00:26:31,240
And.
That's a hard 1.
444
00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:35,800
So competition is rising to a
level that's never been seen
445
00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:37,720
before.
Thank you, AI etcetera.
446
00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:42,840
On the other side of the coin,
literally what I saw and was
447
00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:46,360
pitched yesterday, it's life
changing for many people and a
448
00:26:46,360 --> 00:26:50,600
fairly high Tam.
Samsung, will it get into
449
00:26:50,600 --> 00:26:52,640
medicine?
Maybe, maybe.
450
00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:54,480
Do I know that for a fact?
Oh heck no.
451
00:26:55,920 --> 00:26:59,400
Are they already moving forward
in their regulatory pathway?
452
00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:04,000
They are, but so are the others.
So it's really difficult.
453
00:27:04,240 --> 00:27:09,400
I think the real challenge now
is as an investor, because
454
00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:13,520
there's such a deluge, how do
you know where to throw your
455
00:27:13,520 --> 00:27:16,120
dollars?
Honestly, I don't have a good
456
00:27:16,240 --> 00:27:19,920
explanation other than say do
your due diligence, ask the
457
00:27:19,920 --> 00:27:22,680
questions.
And some of it's still throwing
458
00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:24,880
it up against the wall.
Quite honestly, it still is.
459
00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:29,160
Well, I think one of the things
that into that point what you
460
00:27:29,160 --> 00:27:33,080
just just said because and I
think your app and I'll know for
461
00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:35,960
certain when I complete it
because it is really, really
462
00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:38,040
robust.
We only got through to the third
463
00:27:38,040 --> 00:27:42,560
screen, you know, of answering
some of the questions because
464
00:27:43,120 --> 00:27:47,480
you know, wanted to be clear.
I think, you know, so the point
465
00:27:47,480 --> 00:27:54,080
I was going to make is that part
of the success of a company and
466
00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:59,000
I see, you know, a lot of Angel
groups will have what I call the
467
00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:02,400
Midlands, OK.
These are the ones that, you
468
00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:06,480
know, with this classic scenario
of 10 investments, right?
469
00:28:06,480 --> 00:28:11,600
You get one that goes out of the
park, 2 that do you know, 5X2
470
00:28:11,600 --> 00:28:16,400
that do 2X3 that break even and
three that go out of business or
471
00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:20,840
something like that, right?
And, and those ones that are in
472
00:28:20,840 --> 00:28:23,560
the middle and that are sort of
like, you know, you get your
473
00:28:23,560 --> 00:28:26,120
money back.
It isn't that they weren't good
474
00:28:26,120 --> 00:28:30,560
investments to begin with.
They had the right, you know,
475
00:28:31,040 --> 00:28:35,280
unique value proposition.
They had it, you know, adjusted
476
00:28:35,280 --> 00:28:38,280
market, they had a team, They
had those, those, I guess that
477
00:28:38,280 --> 00:28:41,520
first level of, of like the 10
points of a PowerPoint
478
00:28:41,520 --> 00:28:45,400
presentation, right?
But where they they fall down,
479
00:28:45,400 --> 00:28:50,240
and I think investors make this
mistake as well, is that they
480
00:28:50,280 --> 00:28:54,440
take them at surface value of
the great pitch.
481
00:28:54,440 --> 00:28:56,760
This is really exciting.
Oh, they're going to change the
482
00:28:56,760 --> 00:29:01,000
world and they don't dig in to
do their number.
483
00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:03,640
Do they really know how they're
going to generate revenue and
484
00:29:03,840 --> 00:29:06,520
and therefore do they know how
much money they're going to need
485
00:29:06,520 --> 00:29:09,000
to raise in order to get to that
revenue?
486
00:29:09,360 --> 00:29:12,880
And those two don't they miss
both of those boats.
487
00:29:13,120 --> 00:29:16,680
So they don't raise the capital.
They need to continue to scale
488
00:29:17,080 --> 00:29:19,600
and they flat line, they don't
necessarily go out of business,
489
00:29:19,640 --> 00:29:22,000
but they just sort of chunk
along with all the money's going
490
00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:24,560
back, all the revenues going in
trying to do scale and they
491
00:29:24,560 --> 00:29:29,000
can't really do a heavy lift to
get back on to the trajectory
492
00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:32,040
that they that is expected of an
Angel backed or adventure backed
493
00:29:32,400 --> 00:29:36,160
business.
And so it's, and, and I think
494
00:29:36,160 --> 00:29:40,760
your, your app uncovers that
because you can see what is the
495
00:29:40,760 --> 00:29:43,560
level of sophistication in the
way this.
496
00:29:43,720 --> 00:29:47,520
It's the difference between an
experienced CEO that has had an
497
00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:51,880
exit and has gone through those
processes and knows the mistakes
498
00:29:52,200 --> 00:29:55,040
of I didn't anticipate I had a
failure because I didn't
499
00:29:55,040 --> 00:29:58,640
anticipate that I needed to
continue raising capital or I
500
00:29:58,640 --> 00:30:02,040
didn't know, I didn't know how
to start planting seeds with VCs
501
00:30:02,040 --> 00:30:03,640
while I was raising this other
thing.
502
00:30:03,640 --> 00:30:06,120
Whatever you don't, I mean, you
know, grease and the skids for
503
00:30:06,120 --> 00:30:09,160
going forward with continuing to
scale and thrive.
504
00:30:09,960 --> 00:30:12,800
And they didn't know that.
So they gained that experience
505
00:30:13,480 --> 00:30:16,200
or you know, and they come in
and then they know it the next
506
00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:18,880
time around.
But you can have first time
507
00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:22,480
timers that have the right
advice or get the right advice
508
00:30:22,840 --> 00:30:26,200
or talk to enough investors,
have advisors, they go through
509
00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:30,280
proper programs that teach them
the importance of, you know, not
510
00:30:30,280 --> 00:30:33,160
doing a hockey stick percentage
on the spreadsheet for their
511
00:30:33,160 --> 00:30:35,800
forecast.
You know, actually figuring out
512
00:30:35,800 --> 00:30:37,480
how they're going to generate
revenue.
513
00:30:38,080 --> 00:30:40,680
You know, was it what kind of
sales team is it going to take?
514
00:30:40,680 --> 00:30:43,240
What kind of go to market, What
kind of all of that stuff?
515
00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:45,960
What's the life cycle of the
sales cycle?
516
00:30:46,320 --> 00:30:49,040
And then what are they going to
the money they're going to need
517
00:30:49,040 --> 00:30:52,120
to bridge the gap from when
money comes in and expenses are
518
00:30:52,120 --> 00:30:53,320
going out and all that kind of
stuff.
519
00:30:53,640 --> 00:30:56,840
And and those are two pieces of
information that hardly ever
520
00:30:56,840 --> 00:31:00,360
anybody really talks about.
And I don't know that very many
521
00:31:00,360 --> 00:31:02,400
investors actually ask those
questions.
522
00:31:02,400 --> 00:31:08,840
So I love that investor match AI
based on your vast experience on
523
00:31:08,840 --> 00:31:11,320
this and all, you know, other
people that are your thought
524
00:31:11,320 --> 00:31:13,960
leaders that are part of it that
have helped, you know, have
525
00:31:14,480 --> 00:31:16,640
recognized that as something
that's really critical to the
526
00:31:16,640 --> 00:31:20,040
due diligence process.
Well, I think we could probably
527
00:31:20,040 --> 00:31:25,840
agree that the level of
sophistication for mid level to
528
00:31:25,880 --> 00:31:30,640
older investors is so much
better this decade than it was
529
00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:33,560
last decade.
Day and night, it's day and
530
00:31:33,560 --> 00:31:34,800
night.
So you're right, asking the
531
00:31:34,800 --> 00:31:38,120
right questions gives you a very
good insight.
532
00:31:38,200 --> 00:31:40,280
Has somebody thought through the
process?
533
00:31:40,520 --> 00:31:43,000
Where they headed?
Is it realistic?
534
00:31:44,080 --> 00:31:46,680
Do they have the chops to really
pull it off?
535
00:31:46,920 --> 00:31:50,240
Absolutely.
So you said you've talked about
536
00:31:50,240 --> 00:31:54,320
BioMed kind of stuff and FDA
stuff, you know, and the very
537
00:31:54,320 --> 00:31:59,480
regulatory thing that is really
one of the I guess I don't want
538
00:31:59,480 --> 00:32:02,640
to say complicated.
It's hairy, right?
539
00:32:02,680 --> 00:32:04,400
It's like because it's.
Nuts.
540
00:32:04,560 --> 00:32:08,640
It's absolutely crazy out there.
So whether you're bringing a Med
541
00:32:08,640 --> 00:32:14,560
tech product, a pharmaceutical
or some derivation thereof, OMJ,
542
00:32:14,560 --> 00:32:17,360
you are going to be faced with
some hurdles.
543
00:32:17,520 --> 00:32:21,000
Now the good news, there are
some folks who are absolutely
544
00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:24,560
all they do is regulatory.
And honestly, if it's something
545
00:32:24,560 --> 00:32:29,200
you haven't ever done before, do
not, do not try this on your
546
00:32:29,200 --> 00:32:30,440
own.
Just forget it.
547
00:32:30,440 --> 00:32:33,040
Don't do it.
Hire someone.
548
00:32:33,040 --> 00:32:35,600
Yes, it's expensive.
None of them are inexpensive by
549
00:32:35,600 --> 00:32:38,080
any stretch.
But realistically, if you're
550
00:32:38,080 --> 00:32:41,920
trying to do an FDA approved
product of any sort, I don't
551
00:32:41,920 --> 00:32:44,800
care whether it's a class one or
a class 3.
552
00:32:45,680 --> 00:32:48,200
You seriously want to hire
someone who knows their stuff?
553
00:32:48,280 --> 00:32:53,320
Has done this a dozen times, Has
had so many precepts with the
554
00:32:53,520 --> 00:32:57,480
FDA that it just falls off their
mouth in terms of they know what
555
00:32:57,480 --> 00:33:01,720
to ask and they also know what
not to say, which is equally as
556
00:33:01,720 --> 00:33:04,520
important, unfortunately.
So once you go through some of
557
00:33:04,520 --> 00:33:08,120
the regulatory pathways and you
understand it, you really do
558
00:33:08,120 --> 00:33:12,040
recognize their value and you
can get where you need to go.
559
00:33:12,040 --> 00:33:14,520
I mean, it just depends on what
you're trying to achieve.
560
00:33:16,480 --> 00:33:20,200
Yesterday I was pitched a
product that is a small molecule
561
00:33:20,560 --> 00:33:26,000
that may be amazingly
interventive for Alzheimer's and
562
00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:30,960
some oncology applications.
Didn't get enough data, wrote
563
00:33:30,960 --> 00:33:33,320
them back.
A quick note saying the science,
564
00:33:33,320 --> 00:33:35,960
I need the rest of the science
and I'll look at it.
565
00:33:35,960 --> 00:33:39,200
We'll take a look.
The good news is the Group, One
566
00:33:39,200 --> 00:33:41,640
of the groups that I'm
associated with, most of us are
567
00:33:41,640 --> 00:33:48,320
physicians or have actually been
either FDA regulatory folks or
568
00:33:48,320 --> 00:33:51,840
some derivation thereof.
And we'll be able to really take
569
00:33:51,840 --> 00:33:56,520
it apart and go, OK, these guys
have something, or maybe not
570
00:33:56,520 --> 00:34:00,440
looks like their IP is replete.
They they probably have
571
00:34:00,440 --> 00:34:01,920
something.
I just don't think that they
572
00:34:01,920 --> 00:34:05,760
pitched me the way I would have
liked, which in this case was
573
00:34:05,760 --> 00:34:09,600
more detail oriented.
Yeah.
574
00:34:09,679 --> 00:34:12,280
You know, that's the, I mean
that's part of that intro that I
575
00:34:12,280 --> 00:34:15,000
talked at the very beginning
where it's like really noisy.
576
00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:19,520
And so, you know, identifying
what is the sweet spot of the
577
00:34:19,719 --> 00:34:24,239
targeted investor so that you
can talk their language and kind
578
00:34:24,239 --> 00:34:27,760
of know what it is that they
would be expecting is, you know,
579
00:34:27,760 --> 00:34:29,440
it's completely different.
You have to tailor it to your
580
00:34:29,440 --> 00:34:32,000
audience.
No, I mean investors or
581
00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:36,440
customers and that investors are
choosing to buy the stock of
582
00:34:36,440 --> 00:34:38,960
this company because they
believe is going to give them
583
00:34:38,960 --> 00:34:42,280
the benefit, which is financial
returns.
584
00:34:42,560 --> 00:34:46,800
No different than if you're
selling product to a consumer
585
00:34:46,800 --> 00:34:49,360
that's expecting a certain
functionality to solve their
586
00:34:49,360 --> 00:34:51,400
problem.
The investor is putting their
587
00:34:51,400 --> 00:34:55,080
problem is that they want this
money to be make this money,
588
00:34:55,199 --> 00:34:57,840
right?
So anybody I get like it's a
589
00:34:57,840 --> 00:35:00,400
little, it's this much money
becomes this much money.
590
00:35:00,760 --> 00:35:03,480
So anybody's watching, right?
And so that's the problem that
591
00:35:03,480 --> 00:35:06,560
you're solving from them.
And if you can't be explained to
592
00:35:06,560 --> 00:35:08,600
them, so they believe that it's
going to do this, then they
593
00:35:08,600 --> 00:35:11,400
don't spend their money buying
your equity because like you
594
00:35:11,400 --> 00:35:14,480
say, it's competitive out there
to the three or whatever that
595
00:35:14,480 --> 00:35:16,800
you said they've got.
If they're, if their sweet spot
596
00:35:16,800 --> 00:35:18,760
is that type of a thing, it's
Alzheimer's.
597
00:35:18,760 --> 00:35:22,320
And you know, finding a solution
on that then there and part of
598
00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:26,080
what I teach and you know, when
you get to the second book,
599
00:35:26,160 --> 00:35:29,600
because I figured out on the
Angel profitability blueprint
600
00:35:29,640 --> 00:35:32,680
that's in the course, the
Compassionless Academy, is that
601
00:35:32,680 --> 00:35:35,800
you find the problem that you
want to solve and then you go
602
00:35:35,800 --> 00:35:38,440
find 3 companies that are
solving that problem.
603
00:35:39,000 --> 00:35:41,720
You know at least three because
you can find the three companies
604
00:35:41,720 --> 00:35:43,640
that are solving a problem in
different ways.
605
00:35:43,920 --> 00:35:47,120
And then you figure out which
one has the best path to get to
606
00:35:47,120 --> 00:35:49,200
market, get to do the stuff
based on that.
607
00:35:49,600 --> 00:35:54,400
And you know, part of it is like
in a seed stage or a precede is
608
00:35:54,400 --> 00:35:57,160
that you may put a little money
in to help them get to the next
609
00:35:57,160 --> 00:36:00,520
level so that you can see if
they're able to do it.
610
00:36:00,520 --> 00:36:02,800
But it's money that it's not
critical money.
611
00:36:02,840 --> 00:36:05,320
You know, it's not like you
like, you know, it's not the big
612
00:36:05,320 --> 00:36:06,400
money.
I call it the West Coast
613
00:36:06,400 --> 00:36:09,120
strategy, right, where they put
a little money in, see if they
614
00:36:09,120 --> 00:36:11,440
can hit their milestones before
they put the big money in that
615
00:36:11,440 --> 00:36:13,560
actually gets them all the way
through, right?
616
00:36:13,560 --> 00:36:18,760
And so that is, you know, that's
that I think that's the because
617
00:36:18,760 --> 00:36:20,160
there is so much, it's so
competitive.
618
00:36:20,160 --> 00:36:22,680
There's not enough investors out
there for all the companies that
619
00:36:22,680 --> 00:36:25,560
are even worthy of getting
capital at this point in time.
620
00:36:25,560 --> 00:36:28,200
So we got a few more minutes
here.
621
00:36:28,200 --> 00:36:32,080
Let's, I want to give some time
because I think it's really
622
00:36:32,080 --> 00:36:35,720
exciting what you're doing on
the other end of the spectrum
623
00:36:36,240 --> 00:36:40,720
with the your other, your other.
Excellent sale dot AI.
624
00:36:41,120 --> 00:36:44,480
So someone like yourself, let's
do a quick pitch here to you
625
00:36:44,480 --> 00:36:49,680
directly so it'll resonate.
As a coach, you can only speak
626
00:36:49,680 --> 00:36:52,200
to how many people per day.
Well, it's limited.
627
00:36:52,320 --> 00:36:54,680
There's only one of you.
Not anymore.
628
00:36:55,680 --> 00:36:57,760
Now everyone knows what a bot
is.
629
00:36:57,760 --> 00:37:02,800
Everybody knows what an agent is
at this juncture of AI, what if?
630
00:37:03,720 --> 00:37:06,360
And I'm going to do the what if,
even though I'm going to tell
631
00:37:06,360 --> 00:37:10,720
you it exists.
You could encapsulate your
632
00:37:10,720 --> 00:37:14,040
expertise just as you're
starting to deliver on this
633
00:37:14,040 --> 00:37:18,200
conversation and pointing out
really salient points that are
634
00:37:18,200 --> 00:37:22,320
appropriate with your digital
protege.
635
00:37:23,120 --> 00:37:26,640
Your protege literally
encapsulates your knowledge bank
636
00:37:27,640 --> 00:37:32,960
and is able to deliver it 24/7
to anyone appropriately
637
00:37:32,960 --> 00:37:37,040
authentic.
It sounds like you if you want
638
00:37:37,040 --> 00:37:39,120
it that way.
We have various voices that can
639
00:37:39,120 --> 00:37:42,680
be used, but you can do your own
voice and it allows you to
640
00:37:42,680 --> 00:37:46,320
literally serve that many more
folks as a coach, be that an
641
00:37:46,320 --> 00:37:51,120
executive coach, be that in this
case, entrepreneurial coach, any
642
00:37:51,120 --> 00:37:57,200
form there's an opportunity
expert scale dot AI expand that.
643
00:37:58,000 --> 00:38:00,480
How many of us are getting
older?
644
00:38:01,080 --> 00:38:02,200
We all are.
Come on.
645
00:38:02,200 --> 00:38:03,000
Yeah.
Yeah.
646
00:38:04,320 --> 00:38:08,200
Works that for you.
It's the pits, but that's the
647
00:38:08,200 --> 00:38:10,720
way it is.
How many of you work in an
648
00:38:10,720 --> 00:38:14,480
organization that you know that
there's some key person?
649
00:38:15,920 --> 00:38:18,120
You absolutely go to them when
you have a question.
650
00:38:18,200 --> 00:38:20,080
Why?
Because they know all the darn
651
00:38:20,080 --> 00:38:23,120
details.
They're going to retire, they're
652
00:38:23,120 --> 00:38:25,480
going to die, they're going to
do something, they're going to
653
00:38:25,480 --> 00:38:27,080
move on.
Now what?
654
00:38:27,240 --> 00:38:32,800
You just lost incredible
valuable material because they
655
00:38:32,800 --> 00:38:35,960
walked out the door or are no
longer available.
656
00:38:36,640 --> 00:38:38,640
You don't have to lose that
expertise.
657
00:38:39,160 --> 00:38:41,680
It can be encapsulated and you
can actually have a
658
00:38:41,680 --> 00:38:44,360
conversation.
We're not talking about an FAQ
659
00:38:44,440 --> 00:38:47,760
type circumstance here.
We're talking about a true
660
00:38:47,800 --> 00:38:51,000
conversation where they can
encapsulate that.
661
00:38:51,000 --> 00:38:53,040
And you're probably saying to
yourself, well, wait a second,
662
00:38:53,040 --> 00:38:56,720
I've accumulated this over
twenty, 30-40 years, however
663
00:38:56,720 --> 00:38:58,400
long.
How are you going to do that?
664
00:38:58,720 --> 00:39:02,320
We've probably written material.
You've had conversations many,
665
00:39:02,320 --> 00:39:05,960
many, many times.
And we do an interview process
666
00:39:06,280 --> 00:39:08,920
that literally what are the
KPIs?
667
00:39:09,040 --> 00:39:11,880
What are your goal sets as an
example, as a coach?
668
00:39:12,560 --> 00:39:14,720
All of those are part and
parcel.
669
00:39:15,160 --> 00:39:17,160
And I know immediately
everyone's going to think
670
00:39:17,160 --> 00:39:20,840
security is totally secure.
None of this is in the public
671
00:39:20,840 --> 00:39:22,840
domain.
I want to be very clear about
672
00:39:22,840 --> 00:39:24,480
that.
There are firewalls
673
00:39:24,480 --> 00:39:28,960
intentionally so that no, your
information is your information.
674
00:39:29,080 --> 00:39:31,680
It's not going to be shared or
trained on.
675
00:39:32,360 --> 00:39:35,520
We're really hard about that
because it should be that way.
676
00:39:36,240 --> 00:39:37,360
Yeah.
Of the coin.
677
00:39:37,720 --> 00:39:39,800
What about?
I'm going to give you one more
678
00:39:40,040 --> 00:39:45,080
piece to the puzzle.
You interview your clients with
679
00:39:45,080 --> 00:39:47,800
the same conversation.
Let's say you're an person.
680
00:39:48,080 --> 00:39:49,800
What do you do?
How long have you done it?
681
00:39:50,160 --> 00:39:52,640
What's your schooling?
Why are you doing that?
682
00:39:53,440 --> 00:39:56,840
You're proteging that.
Then you can focus your
683
00:39:56,840 --> 00:39:59,400
attention at then.
This is one of many examples.
684
00:39:59,720 --> 00:40:03,560
You can focus your attention on
the people who meet your
685
00:40:03,560 --> 00:40:08,800
criteria, who you can serve.
It saves everyone's time, it's
686
00:40:08,800 --> 00:40:12,080
effective, it's efficient and
it's inexpensive.
687
00:40:13,080 --> 00:40:17,120
Expertscale dot AI literally
just launched a couple of days
688
00:40:17,120 --> 00:40:18,760
ago.
We just opened it up.
689
00:40:18,760 --> 00:40:21,680
We were in beta thing for gosh
knows.
690
00:40:22,920 --> 00:40:26,560
It's fascinating, it's fun, and
once you start having your own
691
00:40:26,560 --> 00:40:29,480
conversation with your own
protege, you're sitting there
692
00:40:29,480 --> 00:40:33,040
going, oh, and what Oh, this is
awesome.
693
00:40:33,240 --> 00:40:37,880
It's fun.
So be efficient, be effective,
694
00:40:38,080 --> 00:40:41,080
serve more people.
And you can charge for this as a
695
00:40:41,080 --> 00:40:44,080
coach.
We have as an example, our, one
696
00:40:44,080 --> 00:40:47,520
of our very first clients, a
number of attorneys.
697
00:40:48,560 --> 00:40:51,800
The gentleman who does this
literally is a specialist in
698
00:40:51,800 --> 00:40:55,560
LLCS and corps.
And yes, you get all the right
699
00:40:55,560 --> 00:40:58,480
information.
He's not delivering legal
700
00:40:58,480 --> 00:41:01,320
information, so to speak,
because as an attorney you
701
00:41:01,320 --> 00:41:02,960
can't.
You can't do that with your
702
00:41:02,960 --> 00:41:07,080
digital, but realistically it
can direct you, answer your
703
00:41:07,080 --> 00:41:11,120
questions and get him the
information that he needs to be
704
00:41:11,120 --> 00:41:14,520
that much more effective because
then he only spends a very short
705
00:41:14,520 --> 00:41:18,520
period of time.
Oh, you need an A3B election?
706
00:41:18,520 --> 00:41:20,040
Great, no problem, send it to
you.
707
00:41:20,440 --> 00:41:23,120
Totally automated.
Great, easy stuff.
708
00:41:23,120 --> 00:41:25,920
So there's one good example of
one of our first clients.
709
00:41:26,200 --> 00:41:30,280
The other actually is an HR
woman who, why am I asking these
710
00:41:30,280 --> 00:41:32,200
people the same question every
day?
711
00:41:32,200 --> 00:41:34,680
It's driving me nuts.
I don't need to be doing that.
712
00:41:35,760 --> 00:41:38,520
We're producing.
And then she can really dive
713
00:41:38,520 --> 00:41:42,200
deep because she now gets the
information she needs, fills in
714
00:41:42,200 --> 00:41:45,920
her CRM, totally gets back in
touch and knows can she help
715
00:41:45,920 --> 00:41:49,920
that individual.
So interesting new technology
716
00:41:50,160 --> 00:41:53,000
application.
It feels like, looks like and
717
00:41:53,000 --> 00:41:55,960
sounds like you.
It's a protege.
718
00:41:56,720 --> 00:42:01,600
Well, I could see so, so many
applications for that in a way,
719
00:42:01,600 --> 00:42:06,080
because back, way back when,
when I when IBM went through
720
00:42:06,080 --> 00:42:12,240
their major crisis of the stock
value back in the, I guess it
721
00:42:12,240 --> 00:42:17,440
was the late 80s.
And when they were, they were,
722
00:42:18,120 --> 00:42:19,760
they had to lay off all these
people.
723
00:42:19,760 --> 00:42:23,440
And of course, usually when they
do layoffs, your most senior
724
00:42:23,440 --> 00:42:29,440
people have the, you know, that
have the, the, the biggest
725
00:42:29,440 --> 00:42:32,400
packages to leave.
They're close to retirement, but
726
00:42:32,400 --> 00:42:34,920
they're also, you know, the
people that have all the
727
00:42:34,920 --> 00:42:38,040
experience, like you say.
And then what the IBM ended up
728
00:42:38,040 --> 00:42:41,720
having to do was hire back a
bunch of those people as
729
00:42:41,720 --> 00:42:46,360
independent contractors and then
pay them more money than they
730
00:42:46,360 --> 00:42:50,760
were paying them as employees at
the time, right?
731
00:42:50,760 --> 00:42:52,240
Because they had to have that
skill.
732
00:42:52,240 --> 00:42:57,680
And we that's one of our biggest
concerns now in the, in the
733
00:42:57,800 --> 00:43:00,880
scientific, medical and
scientific and research space.
734
00:43:01,240 --> 00:43:04,200
And, you know, you think about
all the stuff that's happened in
735
00:43:04,200 --> 00:43:09,520
the federal government or blank
brain trust that too bad this
736
00:43:09,520 --> 00:43:12,120
wasn't out at the beginning of
this year.
737
00:43:12,120 --> 00:43:15,920
That could have been the AI tool
that would might potentially,
738
00:43:17,120 --> 00:43:19,880
you know, replace the experience
of some of those people.
739
00:43:20,000 --> 00:43:22,160
But.
So for folks who are interested
740
00:43:22,160 --> 00:43:24,800
in that, it's expert scale dot
AI.
741
00:43:25,360 --> 00:43:29,080
And as you can well tell from
Karen's reaction, there's no
742
00:43:29,080 --> 00:43:31,880
lack of application.
If we can be of service to you,
743
00:43:31,880 --> 00:43:36,440

questionnaire or you're looking

761
00:44:49,760 --> 00:44:52,080
of those kind of things that
people want to come and say.
762

What do you think about this
deal?
763
00:44:53,400 --> 00:44:56,360
What should I look at for this
company and that company, it's
764
00:44:56,360 --> 00:45:00,120
going to be some good synergies
there with all of the investors
765
00:45:00,120 --> 00:45:02,760
that will be coming out of this
training and after reading the
766
