I do, there's a particular pebble in my shoe, who represents my investors.

Did you know that 40 percent of the wealth created in Africa is not invested here in Africa?

What we saw was a natural experiment.

Why are you helping him?

They're valuing these assets at 1 million.

As investors flee

Foreign investors withdrew their money from America.

Foreign investors withdrew their money from the United States.

And I'll show you why that matters in a second.

Big investors.

This is the total actual value.

Just Manic Enough.

He valued what we already had at 5 million dollars.

By the way before we go forward, this is one point I want to mention.

So you can imagine, this is the actual amount of cash that

If there are investors willing to finance

And we allow entrepreneurs to share a percentage of their revenues.

On the equity side of the equation we just have four million shares.

So essentially, instead of Countrywide being responsible for my loan, my payments now go to these investors.

But now we actually built something.

Or are you trying to get an intuition for helping to become a better investor?

We said before any of this stuff on the top existed, the pre money valuation of just our idea was 5 million.

(Laughter) Here's some advice from one of the largest investors in the United States.

And we start getting to the negotiation.

So this is my slice down here, 200,000.

I think it was at 7.50 a share.

And of that share, we have 2 million shares outstanding.

So let's say I have investor A.

That they're reducing volatility.

And that worked out pretty well.

Eduardo was the president of the Harvard Investors Association, and he was also my best friend.

He had originally given us 5 million.

They are just going alone! (Applause)

What's it like being an investment banker?

So if I don't put the 150,000 down deposit on the home, and

Someday, you maybe pitching to a really young VC.

They write these research reports because they want to go to institutional investors or people who have their brokerage accounts with these banks, and essentially sell them stock.

The amount of money you get.

Take all the real investment that went on in the world in 2010.

And of course the investors would care that the money that they're essentially giving because they're giving money to the investment bankers who are giving money to

CA And now you're a big investor in that and bringing that to market?

And then, let's say, we have several time periods.

There you go.

In this corner, you have created something that's not valuable and not unique.
