Local Investors

United States > New York

I am a private investor who has spent the past 11 years in the financial services industry and looking to invest in something I am truly passionate about. This consists predominantly of food and beverage, hospitality and real estate, but am also open to creative ideas in the internet/e-commerce space. My goal is to find entrepreneurs with creative concepts so that I can (i) learn about/gain experience from the venture and (ii) achieve reasonable rate of return (15-20% over a 10yr horizon).

I am a private investor who, at times, was/is able to pool other investors on a given venture. I have 25 years experience in the investment banking industry, during the course of which, I had engaged in privately funding several opportunities. Though my investment objective has been to seek a rule-of-thumb return based on "seven-in-seven", I can be flexible given the nature of the opportunity/circumstance.
