Episode 69 - Gregory Shepard Interview Part 1
05/01/22 • 18 min
Have you ever wanted a founder who is also an investor to peel back the real challenge of investor alignment? I've been looking for two years for such a person. It's hard to find folks like this who will talk honestly. And Greg Shepard is one of them. Greg is the co-founder and CEO of BOSS Startup Systems, an open-source methodology developed to empower entrepreneurs. Greg has built and sold 12 businesses in BioTech, TransitTech, AdTech, and MarTech, is a recipient of four private equity awards for transactions between $250M to $1B and has appeared in Fortune, Entrepreneur, The New York Observer, The DEAL and Thrive Global.
In part one of our interview, Greg leans into the whole topic of investor/founder alignment, how thin it is, and how to understand how institutional investors think when they approach you with big smiles.

In part two of our interview, Greg and I discuss the red flags of the 'bad faith investor' or simply an investor deal-hunter who is not the investor at all. Hint: think of all the young kids in Patagonia vests at Expo West.
