Growth requires debt and/or equity19 Aug 2025 08:43
Good morning. The vast majority of early stage businesses need investment to grow and in broad terms that means debt and/or equity. The choice one has to make as an existing shareholder should be based upon one’s risk appetite set against a judgement on potential rewards, with options including (but not limited to) selling, accepting dilution or following your money (by buying more shares). I know this is obvious to most, but there’s some posters who don’t appear to understand the basics of investing in this type of business at this stage of development and seem to become very emotional and accusatory (or maybe they do understand and seek to influence others). Everyone should make their own decisions based upon their own research or instinct, but I’m following my money. Have a good day.
