Wow I still can’t believe we fit all this into 2 weeks in May: 3 round trip flights, 7 different places for lodging, and 4 different rental cars. It was too hectic for my taste but we got a lot of business done.
See photos below:
Highlights:
- Attended 3 separate events hosted by the Keiretsu Forum in the Bay Area, an angel investor network that we were looking to join. Really enjoyed meeting the high caliber members and looking forward to becoming active members ourselves.
- Attended 2-day (5/17-5/18) Private Money Bootcamp in San Francisco presented by Matt Scott. Matt is a great guy and the class was very intensive and worth-while for people involved in private equity. We’re still digesting 3 big printed volumes of class material.
- Met 2 separate groups of investors in Phoenix area for investor tours of Dazzle Dental. Met with senior management to go over operations, marketing, etc. Very impressed to see the progress made in the last year and new buildings under various stages of construction for new dental centers that we invested in. It’s really great to have our friends join us in this investment.
- Spent 2 days in Las Vegas meeting corporate executive team of Dazzle Dental. Also checked out what had happened with the strip since we last visited almost 10 years ago! Walked around the Bellagio (loved the water shows) and Venetian (we want to go back to the real Italy)
- Met our friends as well as new business contacts in Silicon Valley, Phoenix, and Las Vegas.
