The Benefit of Short-Term Returns
Hello, this is Hall T. Martin with the Startup Funding Espresso -- your daily shot of startup funding and investing.
In startup investing, many investors swing for the fences.
The goal is to make each investment a homerun.
In most cases, home runs will take a substantial amount of time to complete.
There are benefits to short-term investments in which the returns are smaller.
Here are some benefits to consider:
There’s a psychological boost that comes from knowing you’ve had a return of capital.
The returned cash can be recycled into a follow-on investment in a home run deal.
Short-term returns are easier to fund.
Home run deals are often difficult to get into due to investor demand.
Short-term returns are easier to find.
There are many startups that can return capital in three years or less.
This can boost one’s investment metric, such as an IRR, which includes time to return as part of the calculation.
Consider both short and long-term return startups for your investment strategy.
Thank you for joining us for the Startup Funding Espresso where we help startups and investors connect for funding.
Let’s go startup something today.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
