I'd add one more tip, finish what you started before starting anything else...

That’s what videos and financial statements are for. In fact in my opinion getting funding for more brick and mortar start ups and striking a balance with tech upstarts would be the biggest rock to move for Grow VC and consequently its biggest stand out achievement.

Often times, even this level of perseverance might not pay off, but its clear that a focus on ROI helped pour the foundation for this incredible company. I also have seen Ryan use his success very aggressively to help those in need, and I'm sure he will do great things. My hats off.
