I am a problem solver. Looking at big issues and solving them, not doing the same over and over. I want to work with projects that have a start and and end date. I am interested in M&A work and working with distressed companies. Yet again, I haven't found the IN for it.

For referrals, how well should the referrer know you before you ask for one? I imagine the referrer should be able to speak to how it’s like working with you?

Looking to confirm or crush my expectation as part of a business model. Are M&A like technology assessments somewhat standardized for angel investors or do you start by independently evaluating specific platform, data, code, technical architecture issues? I’m assuming there are individuals who seek technology risks for value opportunities while others avoid such risks. Is it common to ignore technology choices or are there other options I’m missing?
