"HAS HE FINALLY LOST IT? "

WHY OFFER A MONEY BACK GUARANTEE ?

It's simply that I am so confident in the VALUE ADD that this MASTERMIND will deliver that I know that it's worth me doing it...

IF it convinces you to make the commitment to YOURSELF and draw a line in the sand.

If you are experiencing one of the following FEELINGS then this Mastermind is for you.

"There he goes, talking about FEELINGS...AGAIN"

Well, on the basis we are ONLY signing up HUMANS to this Mastermind and because as HUMANS we ALL make our decisions based on emotions

FEELINGS are actually CRITICAL

Question :

When you think about PITCHING TO INVESTORS

Do you FEEL :

• DAUNTED somehow insecure, under-prepared, even imposter syndrome?

• OVERWHELMED ?

• Maybe conscious of KNOWN UNKNOWNS

• As a PERFECTIONIST, you intuitively know that there's things that you DON'T KNOW BUT SHOULD KNOW

That's why I have curated this Mastermind.

I wrote a book in 2020 about VALUE CREATION in companies : #wrestlingwithunicorns - it will finally be published in 2023

The book project started in late 2019 when I began casting my mind back 25 years and attempting to get perspective on my journey.

A Bob Proctor video on-line reminded me in December 2019, how one small seed, "AN ACORN", of an idea in our subconscious, has the power IF NURTURED to grow into SOMETHING VERY BIG, even a proverbial OAK TREE:

a new INNOVATIVE business PRODUCT or SERVICE

The BIG IDEA - every book needs at least one, came after podcasting about INNOVATION with a colleague, David Richards

It struck me that the VALUE CREATION strategies of the 1980s and 1990s when I was starting out in business with Arthur Andersen, now 德勤 had EVOLVED

In those bygone days of yore @Lord Hanson and @Lord White of Hanson Industries a UK public company, made a name for themselves as M&A Titans: buying businesses typically asset rich chemical and building materials companies and arbitraging the valuation multiples whilst leveraging the balance sheet. Meantime making the front pages of many newspapers as dashing tycoons dating Hollywood actresses. All VERY seXy.

This MO became the playbook for a myriad of #privateequity funds in N America and Europe in the ensuing 20 years.

It seemed so seXy then, analogous to the TOTAL DUTCH FOOTBALL of Johan Cruyff Foundation in that same bygone era.

And yet it occurred to me in a flash of inspiration shortly after meeting David Richards

that VALUE CREATION in 2020 and beyond

At the INFLECTION POINT of the 4th and 5th INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTIONS

Is more likely to lie in the creation of INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

Back to the football analogy : its all gone very Pep Guardiola -

its a whole NEW BALLGAME

And taking that line of thinking one stage further, in Europe at least, too much (by proportion) of the IP CREATION of the last 20-30 years has been captured in Universities or multi-nationals, and much of that IP has not been commercially exploited, at least NOT to its FULL potential.

But in this next 10 years or so, far more of the INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY created globally will be in DISRUPTIVE #startups and #scaleups

Hence the real VALUE CREATION opportunity is in identifying the best of the best of these DISRUPTIVE companies, and with the right blend of talents : granular DEEP TECH scientific credentials Dr. Angie Qarry business scaling and exiting experience as a successful founder H?vard Lillebo and Dr. David Wolff together with fundraising/investment experience Mike Henebery

there's an opportunity to create a new type of VENTURE CAPITAL FUND

The guiding philosophies will be :

• investing in ONLY the most DISRUPTIVE SECTORS of the economy : where the delta on EBITDA multiples is already and will continue to change by the greatest proportion - platforms like PitchBook track these typically DEEP TECH sectors, they include inter alia:

software, saas, systems integration, blockchain, the Metaverse, IoT, 3D printing, Augmented Intelligence, Big Data, Biotechnology, Nanotechnology, materials science, clean energy, quantum computing, semiconductors, cybersecurity, photonics, neuroscience

• managing PERMANENT CAPITAL so that the fund has the firepower to be patient and nurture these disruptive companies long term without running into intra-fund conflicts of interest

• utilising M&A strategies to identify bolt-on acquisitions or strategic alliances that can deliver accretive revenues and potentially earlier cash positive scenarios

• leveraging modern neuroscience with Alan Watkins and COMPLETE COHERENCE LIMITED to assess, coach and nurture the EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE of the management teams

• no distinguishing between SEED and SERIES A,B,C,D,E etc which frankly is an out-moded and somewhat archaic even fundamentally fallible or flawed method of assessing risk. Most VC deals will lie somewhere in the range 5-15x cash money multiple target return to cover the perceived risk from:

NO TRAILING FINANCIALS (HIGH RISK) usually targeting 10-15x cash on cash

to

AN ESTABLISHED AND POTENTIALLY REPEATABLE AND SCALEABLE BUSINESS MODEL, underlying execution risk but definitely less risky, usually in the 5-10x target cash on cash returns parameter.

Watch this space. There may well be a suitably experience gang of FOUR who are CRAZY enough to go fundraising now in Q2 2023 for this kind of strategy.

And if you're the FOUNDER of a DISRUPTIVE TECH #startup or #scaleup and all of this post, except the FOOTBALL ANALOGY, seemed like DOUBLE DUTCH

I guess you may want to book a Discovery Call with a view to attending my #weareundauntable MASTERMIND
