Investors, invest with ROI in mind!

*overheard in the builders camp today*

What’s the difference between sponsors/donors and investors?

Return on investment is the ratio between the net profit and cost of investment resulting from an investment of some resources.

[The Strengths Lab @thestrengthslab]

What is an ROI or return on investment you ask??

[The Strengths Lab @thestrengthslab]

*Dr.Evil Voice* 100 BILLION DOLLARS!! Is that a return on investment or what?!

[The Strengths Lab @thestrengthslab]

Did you know that in 2012 FB bought IG for 1 BILLION dollars?? Guess how much it’s worth today??

[The Strengths Lab @thestrengthslab]

*Drum Roll Please* The answer is an ACQUISITION! A merger occurs when two separate entities combine forces to create a new, joint organization. Meanwhile, an acquisition refers to the takeover of one entity by another.

[The Strengths Lab @thestrengthslab]

Hey, Twitter
We are a group of 15 youth euntrepreneurs and we designed a shirt to spread awareness surrounding gun violence. We believe, the absence of gun violence offers safer environments for children to perform recreational activity such as play https://t.co/saXPQ51lgQ
