revenue Startup

 A post revenue Startup I have been mentoring has been rejected by PlanX for not being mature enough and by Plan9 for being too mature! Even though some feedback for the pitch was that is was one of the best.

So where do individuals who have actually got off their backsides to build their idea, get some traction and remain lean enough, to not have a large team, go?
I feel like advising the founder to take his startup abroad unless anyone has a better idea?
I hope someone from PlanX and Plan9 can offer some advice too about what happens to Startups with brilliant ideas, some traction but don't fit the mold?
Please tag relevant people.

What are you buying when you buy shares in a company?

  What are you buying when you buy shares in a company? | Morrisons is a pretty boring company, a local supermarket chain. No exciting tech in sight but I bought some stock as a recovery play after they were battered during Covid. The price was at a low and they pay a modest dividend so it was a fairly safe long term investment. This morning I wake up and learn that someone wants to buy the whole company at a 30% premium above the closing price on Friday. The board have declined the offer as being too low and there may be a counter offer or there may not. If there is a counter offer that the board consider as reasonable then all shareholders will be asked to vote if they want to accept it or not. So people who ask what you actually own when you buy shares in a company, the answer is that you own a tiny piece of the building, you own some stock on the shelves, you own a piece of the cash on the balance sheet and you have a right to some of the future earnings of the business.

Money DOES Grow On Trees

  Money DOES Grow On Trees Sitting here eating mangoes thinking that many years ago someone must have had the thought to plant a mango tree knowing full well that they will have to look after it for 5-8 years before it will bear fruit. They had the foresight that after their initial investment of time and money, mangoes will begin to grow and they will be able to sell them. The mature tree is now an asset and with ongoing care will provide mangoes for 40-50 years. In season it will grow value day and night, whether the owner is present or not. Each mango can be exchanged for money so the tree is effectively growing money on it. We all need the foresight of that orchard grower and plant trees that will grow money for many many years. The trees can either be real Fruit Trees or Startups, Businesses, Property, Digital Assets or anything else that, after initial effort and investment, can provide reoccurring revenue for many years. Once you have your first tree, grow an orchard. Happy ...
