Real Economy
This is the space we spend the more time and energy. For us, we believe in meaningful EBITDA and a healthy business. The company will have a multiple at exit, but it will be based on revenue generated in its lifetime and the opportunity it has to continue earning revenue. The real economy concerns production, purchase, and flow of goods and services (like oil, bread and labor, transportation, clothing) within an economy.
