No matter what you have heard, investing in early stage companies can be very attractive. The question is how to do it in a way that is sustainably profitable. In this presentation, former Pillsbury CEO, John Lilly, tells investors what he has learned about this very unique asset class. Over 17 years, his fund has invested in more than 80 technology companies with compelling results for the average investor. Along the way, he has learned that lots of what "professional" investors claim to be true, just isn't! This presentation includes a couple of interesting investment stories and an investment opportunity. Also, plenty of time for audience questions!
