Description
Join us every fourth Thursday of the month for a discussion with experienced attorney and executive Gera Grinberg.
May's topic is: "What do investors really care about?"
We're diving deep into the REAL needs/wants/concerns of potential investors in the current market, and how to tap into the right networks/relationships to make progress happen. Also, how not to lose your mind while going through the process.
