The 3 target markets Nth Round appeals to. How Nth Round equals the playing field for everyone involved. How their system is different from private equity and M&A. Why venture capitalists have mixed reactions to Nth Round. The goals for the company moving forward. How video is a great tool to keep business owners and investors in touch.
