“I thought it would be interesting to see if posting our interest in finding financial partners [on the Deal Network discussion board] might lead to a more intimate approach to the market. In the end we sold a majority of the company for a very good market price to a group we felt had the best interest of the company, and its future, in mind. I couldn’t be happier, and I would do it the same all over again.”

“Networks are my identity in YPO. You can discern my interests from my memberships. I’m a Family Business Network guy who participates in the Photography and Tri Sports networks. I get support for my business from the Manufacturing Excellence, Steel and Deal networks. That success leads to my interest in the Family Philanthropy and the Personal Investing networks. My love of nature is well suited for the Environment Network. I toast my network membership as a member of the Wine Network. Networks connect me with members all over the globe.”
