What little-known facts or interesting anecdotes from the world of finance and economics would you be able to share at dinner?
It can be a failed IPO for a funny reason, very unique business model, original story from a businessman, a missed trade...
I was in a 700 level Neuroscience Entrepreneurism class and we had to create a company in the space and present it to VCs and Angel Investors. It was an improvement on the technology of an ED diagnostic device called Rigiscan.
I was the CFO on the project and created financial models to display the projected growth and 5yr strategic plan of the company. The head of this startup company was an arrogant MD/PhD student and we got in a fight about equity and he wouldn’t give me any, so I told him I wasn’t helping to create the presentation or slides. The VCs chose not to invest.
Talking about dicks after a few drinks at a cocktail party is always funny.
Was doing a site visit at a property and we were doing unit walks. We knock on one of the randomly selected units that claims to be occupied. No response. We knock again and again no response. One final try and again no response. The property manager lets us in and it is an abandoned apartment. The tenants left trash everywhere, took the toilet and appliances, and left two dogs behind. They were emaciated and there was dog shit all over the unit. It was really sad. We got the dogs to a vet and estimated that the dogs hadnt eaten in nearly 10 days other than what they could get from the trash left around the place. Ill definitely see the person who abandoned those dogs in hell.
