@SMFoertsch @atcoughlin @KyleTucker_ATH @andrewgurbada 2nd grade varsity experience might be the craziest thing I have ever heard. Next to a sack a minute.

@Schornack @DonohuePatrickE Thank you Andy! Cannot wait to see what we can do together to continue to support entrepreneurs.

[Nick Ehret @NickEhret]

@StAnthonyStrib Thank you for sharing our story Neal!

4/ Since then we have raised, launched, and fully invested $10M from Fund I and are now on the journey to scale Hill Capital with the launch of our $25M Fund II. All of this would not be possible without the support of the community around us. I cannot wait to see what is next!

An email 5 years ago changed my life.

I was in the midst of exploring options to focus my time after leaving public accounting. I had heard of @HillCapitalMN and @DonohuePatrickE and planned on going to a social hour to learn more. I ended up skipping the social hour.

[Hill Capital Corporation @HillCapitalMN]

The journey of supporting entrepreneurs continues at Hill Capital and we are excited to announce the launch of Fund II!

Fund I was all about proving our investment thesis and creating a solution that would address the "capital gap" that exists for established entrepreneurs.

3/ Something that banks and "shark tank" investors could not offer the established small businesses in our region. I wanted to be a part of what he was building.

Another great event for entrepreneurs to connect in the Twin Cities this summer!

At last year's event I was very impressed with the content and the ability of the organizers to connect attendees in a multitude of ways. Plus it is at @allianzfield in the summer. Hard to beat!

[Hill Capital Corporation @HillCapitalMN]

Interested in tickets to an event with 550+ members of startups and corporations, and investors this summer at Allianz Field?

We are proud to again partner with @gener8tor and sponsor the 2023 OnRamp Insurance Conference on June 21-22nd!

@jposhaughnessy @FoundersPodcast Incredible book. Felt like you were on the journey with them, showing how powerful journaling can be when you revisit a story.

Still remember reading about the “Candiru”. That’s when you knew this was a dangerous trip.

@GolfDigest Out of Bounds

[Nick Ehret @NickEhret]

@Schornack @FoundersPodcast That is a solid list!

[Nick Ehret @NickEhret]

@tylertringas @calmfund So how to address career risk? Maybe you find one institutional investor or Family Office that can lead and other investors follow along? Play the VC game in a different way?

[Nick Ehret @NickEhret]

@tylertringas @calmfund It seems that it all driven by career risk. Any institutional investor doesn’t want to go outside the box in case the returns don’t materialize. Similar to VCs always looking for lead investors to pass blame if the investment goes south. 🤔

[Nick Ehret @NickEhret]

@ArmandoMon0 @Zecca_Lehn @HillCapitalMN You can apply on our website https://t.co/uJgS6lNtYQ. We are looking for businesses that are founder led, have meaningful revenue, and clear path for growth.

[Nick Ehret @NickEhret]

@Zecca_Lehn @HillCapitalMN Yes. In line with standard cost of capital based the risk taken and much cheaper than equity.

[Nick Ehret @NickEhret]

@Schornack A good one 😉
