I’ve always had an entrepreneurial spirit. I’ve been an angel investor to many where il exchange the use of my skill sets towards their businesses over income and watched many flourish. I’ve always enjoyed growth through the bootstrapping methods and being as resourceful as possible. My greatest interest from my studying in business innovation and entrepreneurship management was social capital, system networks and policies. They are vital indeed.
