The sort of person I’m looking for is a Managing Director type who has exited a company enough times to understand the business cycle well.
The problem I am having is this type of person is rarely in public network organisations because he or she has already made their money and knows the game. They tend to be “non-searchable” when doing, say, a Google Search for “serial entrepreneurs”!
This person knows how to do deals and they usually rely on personal references rather than being hooked into larger investment companies.
(These larger investment companies tend to want big equity. We’d rather give away “correctly sized” equity than big equity. Money is not an issue at this point. It’s the PERSON, the right business leader, that we’re looking for. Needs to be Health Care. Size of business is 1-5 million turnover at this point, with UK presence and worldwide potential.)
Sorry for going on like this. To some people, this is too detailed! Maybe Yahoo Answers is not a good place for this!!!???
Anyway, I’m just having trouble making the right connections with a good MD, familiar with business deals, not involved in an investment house or not “tied” to some other businesses that keep his loyalty.
Thought you’d be able to help, Community!
