Kevin O'Leary says friendship cost him $750,000, a mistake he'll never make again
“A friend of mine started a company. I gave him $250,000 and he had a forecast. It was a real startup and I said great, I'll do it. I wasn't 100% into it, but he was a friend. Mistake number one”
“Mistake number two was 60 days later he comes back and says, ‘Look, I need another $500,000 to make this work.’ My gut told me right then, don't do this. Do not do this. It doesn't feel right”
“Maybe you have some stress with your friend, but $500,000 is a lot of money. Anyways, I didn't listen to my intuition. I gave him the $500,000. He went to zero 90 days later”
“That's $750,000. I killed that money. And I'll never, ever, ever do that again. I don't let emotion get in the way. You see it on Shark Tank all the time”
“I don't care about your feelings. I care about your money. If you're going to cry, you think I'm bad? Wait until the real world gets ahold of you. It'll rip you to pieces”
