People make investing way more complicated than it needs to be, often causing many not to invest due to fear of a "lack of knowledge" and analysis paralysis. My simple advice: start where you are with what you know. 💡 Look into companies that provide everyday essentials. 💡Reference current events and the companies primarily used to solve today's problems. 💡 Consider which companies are futuristic and are helping to build our future. Investing doesn't have to be daunting. Begin with what’s familiar and expand from there! The best time to start was yesterday and the second best time is today!! Lets get started!! #InvestingTips #StockMarket #FinancialFreedom #InvestSmart

Research shows that many times investors will use pattern matching, (i.e replying on their past experiences and/or patterns they see), to analyze a business and make decisions about a potential investment. AKA they are leveraging their personal experiences to make an interpretation about your industry or business, and potentially you as a founder. Use this knowledge to your advantage when you pitch an investor - do your research beforehand and study their past investments to strategically think how to best influence their thinking. #investortips #pitching101

"Know what you own, and why you own it." - Peter Lynch At Lowell Capital, we want to know something that others don’t, and which is important in understanding the underlying value of the business we are investing in. We then try to invest at a deep discount to our estimate of fair value. Our research-intensive process allows us to dive deep into key fundamental facts about the companies that we invest in. We believe there is an opportunity to identify important and impactful facts of our investments and, thereby, anticipate strong future results. This due diligence process allows us to vet each investment opportunity in detail so we can gain deep understanding of the business model and ultimately decide if it is worthy of having a spot in our portfolio. We seek to have a superior understanding of the business models we invest in and thereby follow Peter Lynch’s sage advice: “know what we own”. We believe few investors truly take this approach and it creates an opportunity for a competitive advantage in the investing world. #LowellCapital #freecashflow #valueinvesting

You just closed your first investment round? Congratulations! After about two months, your new best friends/investors will ask you about company updates and the progress you are making. This feels like a distraction from what you love to do, like improving your offering and going out and talking to customers. You think you throw a couple of numbers in a PowerPoint and send it out. Here is where the frustration starts: What to report? Where to get the information? Why is this costing so much time? Why don't I hear anything back from my investors? What should I do with the feedback I get from investors? The process starts to feel like a burden. Don't worry. You are not alone. I have helped many starting and scaling companies with their operational, tactical and strategic financial and investor-related challenges. If you treat reporting as a tick-the-box exercise, it is and will remain a burden. In my experience, companies that treat periodic reporting as a moment to shine, position themselves much better for future success. The report itself is not the main goal; the process is. In the coming weeks, I'll be sharing my experiences on what works and what not. If you have any ideas you would like me to cover, please let me know in the comments or via a DM.
