Battery Club's Unprofitable Investment
Share
A story about Michael Birch, Shaan's main investor, and how he makes decisions without prioritizing money.
"Michael Birch was my main investor - I got to work with him, sit next to him every day. He does things that will make money, and gets excited when an investment or business starts to work. But when we were deciding what to do in any given case, money was like 12th on the list of things he would think about.
He invests and does things that will make money, but it's not his primary driver. Most people think he's a billionaire, but he's probably not quite there. But it doesn't matter - what's the difference between 500 million and a billion?"
