You are the Prize: Attracting Buyers vs Soliciting Them
Our guest for this show is Rick Brimacomb, CEO and Founder of Brimacomb Capital and Club Entrepreneur. Rick has been involved in deal-making and Venture Capital investments for many years, and he shared how he has become so successful.
Rick's approach is as a side-by-side confidante and close colleague to the owners of the companies he invests in. He sees it as a relationship over a transaction, since most last such a long time. His goal is to help grow the business and help the owners achieve a higher level of return while generating a decent return for his work at the same time.
His background in investment banking, financial analysis, and business in general has set him up to examine opportunities that come his way from several angles. He has proven his worth in numerous situations for a variety of companies over the years. Rick says that because he's vetted over 10,000 businesses in his lifetime, he's become pretty good at knowing what will succeed and what won't. Who will and who won't. His mantra is Recurring Revenue.
