Kate's note: my
colleague Chuck Roxin, Managing Director of ZINO Business Development
Services is guest blogging on my site for a few posts.
"A well managed and governed company is a good investment."
That is the motto of ZINO Business Development Services. Everyone knows that most start
ups are in fact not successful; there may be a debate about the exact
percentage, but not the reality. The issue of how to improve the odds of
success is critical. To this end investors devote considerable effort to screening,
performing due diligence, coaching and mentoring start ups. These activities do
in fact improve the odds.
We’d like to improve the odds even further. ZBDS picks up
the story when companies begin to experience traction. By providing continuing assistance
with management and operations the company’s growth can be propelled with
greater confidence. Strengthening governance processes and decision making will
do the same.
ZINO Society, as appropriate for an angel
investment organization, focuses on what happens with a company shortly after
creation. At ZBDS we’re looking at the entire life cycle, from creation through
profitable growth or exit. Join us in this effort, and follow ZBDS blogs to
learn more about what we do, how we do it, and why it’s important.
