What Michael Looks For
“Necessity is the mother of all invention. You've invented this because you want to solve a problem that you had. That's exactly where great businesses all start.”

“I like to invest in businesses that have a scalable defensible business that I can buy into.”
— S4 · Ep 9
“This is venture investing. Enterprise sales. Big fat margins, recurring revenue. It's solving a big problem. It's juicy as f*ck.”

“It always costs more and it always takes longer. And I've never met an entrepreneur that says, you know what my problem is? I just raised too much money.”
— S6 · Ep 2
“I don't want to be in the business of teaching entrepreneurs. I want them to run the company.”
— S7 · Ep 9
