In this episode of the Millionaire Mindcast, we have an impressive guest Nathan McDonald who shares his knowledge and insights about Angel investing, Due Diligence Process in real estate, collaboration based-investing, good returns, and positive cash flow during this economic crisis!
Nathan McDonald is an entrepreneur, investor, CEO of Keiretsu Capital, and Chairman of Keiretsu Forum in Northwest Region. Keiretsu Capital is the exclusive worldwide fund partner of Keiretsu Forum and manages angel co-investment, blockchain, and real estate funds for its investors and supporting startup companies. They are ranked as the most active venture investors in the USA and growing to be 55 chapters globally.
Under Nathan’s leadership, Keiretsu Capital has launched four co-investment funds and now manages over $30 million from over 180 Keiretsu investors and over 160 portfolio company investments. With his skills, he quickly builds the Keiretsu Forum in the Northwest region into the fastest growing angel investment group in the nation, adding over 850 investor members and facilitating over $300 million in funding for over 400 companies.
Nathan believes that companies who have not embraced technologies during this financial crisis will be left behind as the market accelerates quickly. Likewise, the best thing investors can do is invest. Anyone can do as long as you believe in the business you’d liked to get into and be willing to take the time out there.
Get your money moving, get into the economy and the community by supporting businesses that are able to generate returns. For Nathan, during these uncertain times, recession, and downturn, is where the best companies in the world are created. It is just finding opportunities in the middle of chaos. Particularly in real estate businesses where there’s plenty of opportunity on the liquidity side.
