What is the best advice you would give to a company looking to scale? Concentrate on generating revenue. It's always easier to subsequently raise more funding if investors can see compelling revenue growth. What is the relationship between company culture and business success? Once you grow beyond having a personal bond with each employee, you need corporate culture to build/sustain that bonding. What have you enjoyed the most throughout your time as Board Member? Working with an organization whose primary objective is to help others succeed. ERNEST BACHRACH endeavormiami.org
