How To Make Your Business Investable // Troy Henikoff

How To Make Your Business Investable // Troy Henikoff

This episode's all about how to make your business investable. Troy is the managing director of MATH Venture Partners, which happens to be one of Trainual's investors. He sits on the Trainual board of directors and he's been a great friend, advisor and mentor for us over the last few years. So, we get into the story of how we built Trainual, how we met, and Troy's background before we ever intersected. He was a serial entrepreneur, one of the founders of Sure Payroll, which is the first online payroll company in the U.S. and he teaches entrepreneurship over at Northwestern University's Kellogg School of Business. He's on the board of the Chicagoland Entrepreneurial Center and the board of a bunch of other companies that he's invested in over the years. 

So, what I love about this episode, if you have ever considered raising money, raising venture capital for your business, this is the hour of content to listen to, or even less than an hour. We packed so much into this conversation about whether or not your business can grow at the trajectory to be investable, about what you should do to formulate your pitch and make sure you've got the right metrics to be investible by an investor, about the types of investors you should look for. Should they be active? Should they be passive? How frequently should we be checking in with these people? And then why would you raise money and what is it supposed to do in your business?

So from start to finish, we talked about Troy's journey getting into investing, and then we broke down the details of how you can do this for your business. So, this is a great episode to share with anyone that's interested in raising money for their business, and if you are growing a company that could take investment, please listen to this.

Educational content from Troy and MATH Ventures about raising capital. Check it out!

Process Will Set You Free // With EOS Implementer, Lisa González

Process Will Set You Free // With EOS Implementer, Lisa González

In this episode, I'm speaking with Lisa González. This is almost a little meta because her playbook or her book is called 'Process! How Discipline and Consistency Will Set You and Your Business Free.'  Like mine, hers is all about creating a playbook for your business. And so a page from Lisa's playbook is a book about playbooks, like my book about playbooks. So this one's fun!  

You're going to like this if you like anything about process and operations. Just hearing Lisa's story, how she grew up in an entrepreneurial family, how she became the EOS implementer that she is now, how she got involved with the community and co-authored this book was awesome. We loved talking about it and having this banter around process.   

After applying all of the EOS principles in her companies and intersecting with Gino Wickman, reading 'Traction,' EOS had made such a profound impact on her businesses that she wanted to share her expertise and process with other growth-minded companies.  

Today she's a speaker, an author, a process fanatic, and she's, like I mentioned, the co-author of this book, 'Process!' So dive in, dig in, take some notes and I hope it helps you better document your processes.
