Description

Regional Investors, Tim McLoughlin and David Mendez, prepare Myrtle Beach Entrepreneurs for investor meetings. Real Life Entrepreneurship is DEEPER than a Shark Tank The world of entrepreneurship has changed with the images and concepts from the tv show Shark Tank. First time entrepreneurs and investors don’t actually go on a blind date and make a deal for a $100,000 plus investment in 15 minutes. In fact, this process can take 3 months or longer in conservative markets. Entrepreneurs really need to know and live the terms of legal structures, angel investing and venture capital BEFORE they meet investors or they will be eaten alive by the sharks who maybe aren’t angels. If entrepreneurs do the right preparation BEFORE the investor meeting, they can find a real partner in growing their startup into a successful exit instead of an adversarial relationship that could lead to a quick failure and sleepless nights with stress. Our next event has two experienced investors who are eager to share the terms and insights to prepare Myrtle Beach entrepreneurs to meet with future investors.
