She had an amount of money to invest, she knew exactly the company description and the business’s future plan. She also cooperated with a lawyer and an accountant. She is currently working on her own. Colleagues that she knows, introduced to her partners and suppliers. For future investments, she uses her corporate earnings. Interpersonal skills are necessary for her and communication skills together with empathy and listening are of high interest.
