Great to see Mitch Kroll is back in the saddle as a founder. And even better news is that he is working to help build smaller businesses. Check out his post and join the effort!
Retirement isn't for me, neither is not building companies and loving every part of the journey, so.... I'm back as the Founder & CEO of my What's Next !! As a kid, my parents grinded every day of their lives to support me the best they could from their small (family named) business – Amber’s Young Colony. In the spirit and legacy of family, today we are launching Amber. At Amber, we buy early stage businesses with a spark of greatness, the side-hustle and Shopify kind. I believe in the future of small businesses, driven by the surging impact of first-time entrepreneurs who started more businesses last year than at any time in our country’s history. We need to support entrepreneurs in every way possible by building infrastructure to elevate their success. Join me and Adam Finley as we change the world, again. www.ambershops.co - check it out, subscribe for updates and follow us on social.

"I think there's a lot of zombie-corns out there; these businesses now that are sub scale, they've reduced growth to 5 percent, 10 percent, but they're just now making sure their breakeven and they don't have to raise another round because all of the internal structuring stuff has been done."
