I have started and sold three businesses from nothing. All were auto related but it is business in general that I love . I consult for all types of businesses . I have a proven track record on starting and growing small businesses with strategic exits. I am very well connected and have numerous resources to pull from. Involvement can be all the above but at this point in my life , I would rather be silent with some advisory. I am an individual investor looking to invest into a business that is at that need for growth but I am not opposed to the right start up with the right ROI. I currently have a good share of funds invested or loaned at this time but do have a small amount for the right business and I will have a good amount of funds maturing towards the end of 2018. I am also interested in loaning funds to a legal medical marihuana business. A grower/caregiver or dispensary .

My full background from the beginning is that I graduated college which led to sometime in Anesthesia. I eventually left clinical work for a lab career at Thermofisher Vaccine Sciences. After which I transitioned to being a Researcher at a medical school. During these various jobs I had two online side businesses. A ebay antiques business and a print on demand Etsy shop. Eventually using the success from these two businesses I paid off my student loans and decided to pursue a different road in life, business. I then purchased a bakery and I have been running it for several years now. I currently have 12 employees handling the day to day tasks for me and I have reached a stage where I only work a few days a week. Thus, I would like to invest in a new venture and I am committed to ensure it's as successful as my previous endeavors. I am more than willing to put in the work where needed though if I feel you know what you're doing I am more than happy being silent as well.

I'm an individual investor in southeastern Michigan looking to back a business I believe in, in exchange for an ownership stake. I invest between $25,000 to $250,000, sized to the opportunity. What comes with the capital matters more than the check. I've spent 35 years as a business owner myself, so I understand payroll, margins, and what makes a model sustainable, not just profitable on paper. Alongside that, 35 years as a financial consultant and investor, with a degree in business administration and applied economics from Cornell. I've done many private placements and know how these deals are structured and closed. I've built theme-based portfolios in public securities, and I'm well versed in e-commerce. Because I invest as an individual, not a fund, I move fast and stay involved as a real partner. If you want capital plus an owner who's been where you are, let's talk.
