Investors are quick to brag about the impact and network they add to their investments. After all, they know a lot of important people, have access to cash, and an infinite source of knowledge.

Christoph Jost, Founder & Managing Partner at FLEX Capital, isn't one of them. "We come in when the founders have already done the hard part", he says. "They have scaled their business to 1 million EBITDA or 5 million in revenue. It's clearly working already."

In this episode, Andi and Christoph discuss:

What bootstrapped founders face when they scale
How FLEX Capital finds and invests in them
How FLEX Capital approaches consolidation
How Christoph moved into Private Equity
