While some performance indicators and red flags differ for each type, local
offices, LSP and ISP panelists ought to keep in mind:
ENTREPRENEUR "PASSION" in the absence of other differentiators is
not enough to pass a candidate. "ROLE MODELS" we now know are the
entrepreneurs who achieve unqualified success.
Concerns over "TOO EARLY" or "LACK OF CLEAR STRATEGY"
can be mitigated by strong conviction around company growth potential
(CAGR) and entrepreneur capabilities.
The "IT'S TOO LATE" or "BEYOND ENDEAVOR" arguments are also red
herrings; if a strong candidate endures our rigorous process, we can help!
REVENUE at ISP does not predict future success. LSP/ISP discussions should
probe acceleration/CAGR, innovation, job creation, and exit opportunities.
