Received good guidance on the value and worth (financially and logically) of giving/selling others shares in the business as well as other nuggets
Good open honest insights from the speakers and chairman
Remarkably open discussions and advice given and discussed. Experience and knowledge transferred
Interaction between attendees was very good and well chaired. Speakers gave a most helpful insight
Key tip for me was to find out why people want equity in the company
Part of the growth strategy should include a point of top heavy management followed by expansion. Give your team their birthday off!!
