Do You Know the Scorecard Funding Method or Risk Factor Summation Model?
Small is beautiful. Democracy in application of private equity is profitable. Wealthy creation via small-business growth is alive and well, as ever, in the North American continent. What is different from earlier decades is that the level of sophistication and hands on activity of the holders of capital is growing. We believe that this bodes well for economic development, job creation, and wealth generation in our nation because hands on monitoring of one’s wealth is better in the long run than passive, blind delegation of money management to “professionals” in such risky endeavors as venture capital. - John May
