Advice that sounds okay on the surface but might cost you your company: 1. “Raise as much as you can, hire quickly, and worry about profitability later” My advice: raise little, stay lean, fund with profits. If you do raise, be thoughtful and choose the right partners.

#LendInvest #LINV $LINV Hats off to readers who decided to LINV it up. LINV is up 8% today on the news of a boosted AuM up from £2.95bn to £3.23bn (vs my estimate of £3.3bn) More signs that the UK housing market is recovering.
