I am a financial controller of a tech company and now we want to start investing in securities and startups. What should our starting point be in establishing such a department? How do we get started?
Build an investment thesis where you have a substantial plan, estimate returns with backed up numbers, know EVERYTHING about that market and make sure you're ready to start another 40 hour job on top of your current one. It is way more work then you'll think if you're doing proper diligence and sourcing. Well over a normal work week.
