YFM Equity Partners’ Post

Our premise is simple- access. Everyone knows someone who owns a small business- they’re the backbone of our economy. And we want to give all of these New Zealand small businesses equal access to any funding they might need to grow. Plus every day investors access to people who will benefit the most from their funds, and generate returns for them in return. How are we doing this? We’re smashing investment stereotypes. Breaking down elitist barriers. And creating a space where information is freely shared. Tag a small business pal who might just need to know about InvestaMatch- it could change their life. #investaMatch #Dunedin #NZInvestmen #SmallBusinessInvestment #FundingRequest #InvestInMyBusiness #StartupFunding #BusinessOpportunity #SeekingInvestors #FundMyBusiness #SmallBizFunding #BusinessCapital #Entrepreneurship #PitchYourIdea #BusinessGrowth #InvestmentPitch #InvestorPitch #BusinessExpansion #GrowMyBusiness #StartupPitch #InvestmentNeeded #EntrepreneurLife #BusinessPlan #PitchToInvestors #InvestmentSearch #SmallBizFinance #BusinessVenture #SeedFunding #BusinessIdeas #StartupCapital #InvestorReady #CapitalInjection

Interesting The Times article on how the media can support entrepreneurship in the UK, by giving them more exposure. More interesting is that the thoughts come from an investor. I work with scaling companies and they often come to me because they have been told they need a public voice - "I want to get into the broadsheets" *sigh* It's not impossible but gosh, it is hard work! Because the nationals don't feature smaller organisations often enough, despite the value they bring and the change they are driving (not to mention it might not always be the best place to focus efforts to target core audiences). A particular point in the article (unfortunately behind a paywall) is that you can't be what you can't see. I'll add that if you aspire to be a huge global business that is great. But SMEs make the business world go round and we ought to celebrate them more! The challenge is two-fold though; the PR that gets bigger businesses into the news is often out of reach for smaller organisations. A model of a monthly retainer - often into the thousands - isn't possible for many. How do we fix this problem? A reshaping of our thinking about the value of smaller businesses is a good start. Many bigger organisations wouldn't exist without the services - and innovation - that SMEs bring to the economy. https://lnkd.in/e69_J-TB

In honor of #EntrepreneursDay, we’re sharing a story of entrepreneurship that’s especially close to home – the story of KKR. In 1976, first cousins Henry Kravis and George Roberts, and their mentor, Jerome Kohlberg, scraped together $120,000 in personal savings to found KKR, with modest ambitions to make a handful of long-term investments in private companies with an industrialist’s perspective. Today, KKR is global, investing capital across multiple alternative asset classes all over the world, helping to grow leading enterprises on behalf of our clients. Here’s our story: https://go.kkr.com/3Zg9xYN
