Venture Capital: Is the bar even higher?
Here is a recap of the Paparelli Zoom Chat for Entrepreneurs #13

Quote of the call: “If a successful entrepreneur calls me and asks, ‘Will you do me a favor?’ that’s a request I can’t say no to because successful entrepreneurs are my customer.” -Blake Patton
