Shanti’s Dispatches

I’ve been working on the business plan lately for Menlo Park 2.0 - the human captial investment group I’m forming with a few close friends. Not to mention incredibly talented entrepreneurs who I’ve never even met face-to-face! They feel like close friends, regardless.

After re-reading a section of the plan, I realized it totally sums up what we’re all about.

Menlo Park 2.0 - Our Message

Our core founders have all experienced a taste of entrepreneurial success. Most people will never know this ultimate joy. Most people are stopped because they make reasons and excuses for why they canít start the venture of their dreams.

What weíre saying is ñ you can achieve your dreams, but you have to look outside yourself. You may not have the startup capital necessary. Lenders and investors may have turned you down.

But if your new venture is one that only requires human capital ñ there may be someone out there, just like you, looking for a business partner. Perhaps your skills and their skills are completely complimentary.

Together, you are the ultimate entrepreneur. This is our message.
