What if I Invest in My Employees & They Leave?

“What if I invest in my employees & they Leave?”

It’s an old question. The answer of course is another question.

What if you invest in your employees & they stay?

Let us introduce you to a couple of great people who understand the challenge and we’re delighted to have them both as supporters of BoS Conference USA 2023, Raleigh, NC, 2-4 October.

Q2 is a leading provider of digital banking and lending solutions to banks, credit unions, alternative finance companies, and fintechs in the U.S. and internationally.

 4LV is founder-focused investment house and boasts a wealth of experience, a love for the Triangle, and a commitment to making a difference through its investment decisions. 

Carl Ryden co-founded Precision Lender and attended the first BoS Conference with his co-founders and subsequently attended each year, first with his board and then with his board and emerging leadership team. Carl sold the company to Q2 in 2019 and remains with the business and Q2 continues to invest in the people and the team.

At the time of the $580 million acquisition, Carl said,

“I’m not sure I could have done this without the things I learned at BoS and from the BoS community.”

Expect to meet some of the sparky people from Q2 at the conference.

4LV is an early stage investment fund founded by Charles Gaddy, a co-founder of Global Data Consortium. As a long time attendee, he recognizes that value that entrepreneurs get from attending, learning new ideas and meeting smart people from outside your immediate peer group. 4LV will be bringing their portfolio. It’s far from a philanthropic gesture though. As an investor, educating, coaching and supporting your entrepreneurs is a huge part of your job and increases the value of your investment. How do your investors support you?
