Investing in startups as a compassionate capitalist to bring innovation to market, create jobs and grow the local economy is great! For #wealthcreation from investment in private companies, it takes an exit with an public offering on the stock market or another company or fund acquires the company. Return on Investment #roi happens when someone else buys that stock you bought when the #company was small and private. As a founder to get the wealth from your hard work it takes that same kind of exit. Exits don't happen by magic, they happen when the founders and executive team SCALE the Company to be worthy of multiple you need for your target return on investment. #angelinvesting
