 In the past I stopped entering as a silent investor in a startup, because I didn’t know much about the business. It was a small investment of 10 thousand reais; 5k can be made in the first round and then 5 more in the second.

The business, in my view today, has become promising and is going well, from what I have been following. Happy for that! Really happy for the creators, and the allocated investors, to be seeing results in the company.

At the time I was not prepared for their mission. And there’s nothing wrong with that! It is not by embracing all the opportunities that we are set to the table, that we should follow. The success of many successful entrepreneurs and companies - if not also, the key to W. Buffett; is to say NO at many times.
