If you have been lucky enough to have raised capital then you will know how important it is to keep your investors on side and happy. As for us at Head & Griffiths I have known our investor for a while and have a good relationship with him. Times have come though when being inbetween him and my business partner has been difficult. As Dom is really creative and image orientated that can sometimes be a different perspective to that of our investor. This then leads to me having to try and arrange some middle ground which both parties will be happy with.

This situation often leads to the best outcome as its had input from three different mindsets however it can also be draining trying to come to a suitable resolution. One other aspect of being in the middle which is not always easy is when I delegate work to Dom that has been suggested by the investor but it gets overseen and the next time we meet the same problem is highlighted.

I guess its not easy to be in the middle of different characters but its really important to have the differing opinions which gives insights into the thoughts of our range target demographics.
