Learn What Venture Capitalists and Investors Look for in Investable Companies

This course is meant to teach people how to build investable companies and become investable entrepreneurs.  Not all businesses are investable opportunities.  There are certain traits that investors look for in companies they want to add to their portfolio.

Michael Melfi and Jesse Henry have spent years working with entrepreneurs of all shapes and sizes.  They've helped them find operational inefficiencies, scale operations, and raise the capital necessary to grow their business (and help others do the same).  Please feel free to message them with any questions.
