Great vid - absolutely agree on control in private investments if your expectations are for returns and eventual exit. Do you have any views on the success of using put rights?

Thanks for sharing! I do believe small businesses can be an attractive investment as long as you do your research and due diligence. Like any private company, it comes with different risks but can be very rewarding if executed properly.
