Lending Money & Investing In A Friend’s Business: Are They The Same Thing? [Chills 88 with Jeremy Au]

谈钱伤感情; that means “talking about money hurts feelings” in Chinese. Horror stories of families and friends falling out due to failed investments are unfortunately quite common. Should we just turn away from potential investment opportunities to avoid ruining the relationships with our loved ones?

Our guest Jeremy doesn’t think so. As a venture capitalist at Monk’s Hill Ventures, he knows all about raising funds for businesses. In this illuminating episode, Jeremy shares what aspiring investors should consider before putting money into businesses that belong to their families and friends. How do you assess if a business is worth investing? What can we do to prepare for any unexpected fallout?
