Hi Fast Lane members,

I introduced myself here for those of you who dont know me.

https://www.thefastlaneforum.com/in...44357-secret-entourage-founder-fast-lane.html

I was asked via PM by several members if I would discuss what I look for when making an investment into a business or startup and so I figured I would come in here and answer any questions regarding what me and my team look for...

Any questions you have, just ask.
