Lecture Description

To find companies to work with, Komisar engages in a sort of dating process.  First, the company has to be referred to him by a trusted source.  Second, he holds a meeting in order to get to know the person and find out what they are trying to do with the business.  Komisar is only interested if the business is an interesting opportunity and the person is someone who has merit and can make a difference.  This process of getting to know the founder can take months before Komisar is willing to commit.
