Interested.

What’s your idea?

I’m in DFW and 100% committed to doing something meaningful and lucrative. 👍

What’s your idea?

What’s your idea?

I'm interested too. Please share your idea.

I don' think there is a way to DM someone unless they actually provide a name, not just a title.

You can DM anyone even without a name.

The most probable businesses that are not real estate and likely to succeed are operations based, and to be successful, would probably require working at the operation as least for a while early on… a franchise of HTeaO is an example of something capable of being profitable and worthwhile while working with co-investors

I don’t have time with kids and a family to run a business on the side, but wish I had earlier before the kids. Consulting takes up so much time

I’m interested with one caveat that any business ideas are organic. If you start up a business through a third party, including any kind of franchise or selling network, I’m not interested. If it’s your idea with a business plan then I’ll listen.

Hey Dallas folks!

I want to get to know the local private companies. I worked at a private company with 2-3k employees before my MBA. They had an amazing culture, but limited progression opportunities. I'm thinking about looking for a smaller company (couple hundred to couple thousand employees) in the Dallas area and looking to find an amazing culture.
