This week’s episode of “The Angel Next Door” features a long time investor and soon to be chairman of the SEC’s Investor Advisory Committee, Christopher Mirabile. He and his partner Hambleton Lord are very involved with Launchpad Venture Group and they co-founded a successful portfolio management tool Seraf which investors love! Since Launchpad started, the group has put 140 million dollars to work, backed 130 companies, and currently has around 180 investors. Christopher joins Marcia to discuss how he became involved in the entrepreneur world. He also tells us about a few of his exit stories, including one company that delivered a 22.2x return on their investment despite mediocre circumstances which showed the power of practicing capital efficiency! And you’ll hear little about Crypto too! "The only way crypto really thrives is if we provide it with a regulatory framework that protects investors.” He also discusses his role with the SEC and his duty to represent and be an advocate for all investors. We will take a deeper dive into how their process works with choosing sub committees, gathering research, and writing up white papers to present to the SEC. And remember our last episode talked about crowdfunding - well Christopher will give us his thoughts on the pros & cons of Reg CF, it’s not for all businesses. Always do your homework before taking money from any type of investor! To find out more about what types of businesses that should not get involved with crowdfunding tune in to the full episode!
