I agree with the previous guys comments and say go to free webinars and   Make connections as best as you can ( at coffee shops, grocery stores, restaurants and sports cloud bars, meetups, etc).

Due Diligence: Investigate the MSO’s financial health and west coast strategy to better understand your risk exposure.For deeper insights into structuring deals and assessing investment risks, I’d like to invite you to our Zero to IPO webinar.
