Karen Rands shares a tip for investors getting started investing in entrepreneurs as purchase of their private equity and becoming a share holder.
However you are introduced to an entrepreneur that is seeking startup or growth capital, the founders need to be able to show how they are going to SCALE. You don't want them figuring out how they will scale on your dime. They need to have a general idea of what will be needed and how your money will be the fuel to their engine to go from 10x widgets / customers a week to 100x widgets / customers a week.
