“I bought computers… took them apart… sold them… the company became a multi-hundred-million-dollar company in Canada.”
“We had a company in our portfolio zero to 18 months, a hundred million revenue, Lagora.”
“We were able to take that company from 70 million in revenue down to 60 million … up to five million operating profit… paid off 8.5 million of the debt in 18 months, just by doing things like collecting receivables or DC inventory.”
“I put in $500,000 in 2018… raised $5 million in 2019… bought all the stores, 23 locations in 2020… open one new location every six days.”
