Interests: - Unique value proposition: One of the most important factors I look at is the company's unique value proposition. The difference in the technology offered by them and the competitors, real-life problem solutions, and the company's sustainable competitive advantage. - Market size and growth potential: I spend time evaluating the size of the market the company operates in, as well as its potential for growth. I also consider factors such as the size of the addressable market, the pace of industry growth, and the company's ability to capture market share. - Financial performance: I examine the company's financial performance, including revenue growth, profitability, and cash flow. This helps me to determine whether the company is a good acquisition opportunity and whether it has a sustainable business model. - Technology innovation: Technology businesses should focus on innovation to keep up with the rapidly changing market. I check the company's research and development, patent portfolios, and any cutting-edge technologies they may have. - Management team: The company's management team is critical to its success. I request information to evaluate the experience, expertise, and track record of the executive team to ensure that they have the skills and experience necessary to lead the company. - Intellectual property: Technology businesses should have some type of intellectual property, including patents, trademarks, and copyrights. Having these assets provide a competitive advantage. - Customer base: I research the quality and size of the company's customer base to determine whether the company has a loyal customer base and a good customer retention rate. - Compliance and regulatory environment: I like to check a company's responsibility to comply with all legal and regulatory requirements.

Interests: 1. We are looking to invest or buy business or properties in Panama, Peru, or South America as my fiance is Peruvian. 1. There must be decent ROI. 2. The investment would be made after market analysis, market potential, and market opportunity for that product. 3. The product's threat, strength, and weakness would be analyzed. It must be sustainable and have the potential to break the barriers.

Interests: - Strong market position: I prefer businesses with a competitive edge and clear market differentiation, particularly those operating in densely populated areas where demand is consistent. Pharmacies, for example, should be in high-traffic locations, near complementary businesses like dental clinics, gyms, or hypermarkets, ensuring steady foot traffic and customer reliance. - Scalability potential: I am drawn to businesses that have a clear path for growth—whether through adding new product lines, expanding into new locations, or increasing online presence. Businesses in retail healthcare, such as pharmacies, that can scale through digital platforms (example - online medicine delivery) are especially appealing. - Financial health & cash flow: A strong track record of financial stability is essential. I look for businesses with positive cash flow, efficient cost management, and a clear strategy for reinvestment. I am cautious of businesses with erratic revenue streams or unclear financial structures. - Customer relationships & loyalty: Businesses that prioritize customer satisfaction and build strong, long-term relationships stand out. Repeat business, corporate clients, and robust customer feedback are key indicators of future growth. I particularly value businesses in sectors like healthcare, where trust and service quality directly impact customer retention. - Online and digital presence: A well-established presence on online platforms for customer engagement and sales is critical. In the healthcare space, especially for pharmacies, this can drive both visibility and revenue through convenience services like online orders and delivery. Businesses I like: - Retail healthcare, including pharmacies and clinics, due to the consistent demand for healthcare services. - F&B businesses in high-demand areas, particularly those with plans for scalability. Businesses I Dislike: - High-risk ventures with volatile markets or those overly reliant on seasonal demand, such as niche luxury goods. - Businesses lacking a clear growth strategy or operating in highly saturated markets with little room for differentiation.
