And with that title comes a new range of responsibilities, most of which are an extension of being the Founder of HLC. So who is the Founder you may be wondering, well it is still me, however the role CEO entails a more specific range of responsibilities, which I will outline in this blog.
Responsibility for the planet. First and foremost I am responsible to the planet. How you may be wondering, well every action that I take as the CEO of HLC I am keeping in mind my strong sense of accountability to the planet. Meaning that I must deal only with projects that are doing something good for the planet, and also capital suppliers who also share this same mandate. That can be a challenge to get those two in perfect alignment, however one thing that I am very good at is vetting not just people but also organizations as a whole. It all starts with the relationship building. Every relationship begins with the initial PoC (Point of Contact) and I deal almost exclusively with the CEO/ Founder/ etc. It is based on this initial meeting that I base my further actions on. I have spent decades doing staffing at a very high level. This background leaves me ideally suited to building and growing relationships. At the present time I have a total of three financial backers. The volume of projects that I am working on is in the dozens, however I am focusing on three specific projects which to my mind are ideally suited to be funded.
How specifically do I get companies funded? That's a very good question and one to which there is a very long eleven part answer. It is by following this precise methodology that we are able to successfully fund companies. Every step that we take is contingent upon the next step. Meaning that the meeting with the CEO of the company if successful leads to the next step, which is the NDA. After the NDA comes the pitch book. and so on until we reach the funds disbursement and follow up stage.
It is part of my daily routine to mitigate any potential losses while maximizing the return for our capital supplier. A job which I am very proficient at.
