Former Investment Banker turned entrepreneur… This is the story of Hanif Joshaghani, CEO of Symend.

In this episode, you’re going to hear about what you should know about investment bankers. For example… the value of being methodical, organized and thoughtful about the steps in your financing. It should not be understated. It can mean the difference between a quick, properly priced financing or at worst, not being able to get your deal done. As well, you’ll hear about his experience and strategy with his current fundraising initiatives with Symend.
I particularly liked our discussion around the due diligence process. It’s an inside scoop on how your deal may be viewed by bankers and check writers alike.
