A great recent example of this was a successful group of entrepreneurs who had created a company that will do $10-12 million in revenue at their system integration business (read: services business) in 2011 after having done $5 million or so in 2010 and $2-3 million in 2009. They wanted advice. This team is talented.

So over time, I've been a serial entrepreneur for startups for successful exits. When we discover a founder who has something that's of real value, and they turn out to be willing to listen to the advice from mentors, that's a deal you want to invest in. Along the way, he and I also built two other startups concurrent with the big one.
