		<description>Been watching since the beginning, and the thing I want more of is and understanding of the guest&#039;s philosophy for investing. How do they evaluate deals, what has shaped that view, what qualities excite them most, how do they like to be pitched, what information do they most often feel is lacking in the pitches they hear. Really teasing out what drives their descison making more.</description>

		<description>I agree with you on too many players in Beyond The Racks Space but I can assure you they have really nice numbers from what I hear they are basically the Hautelook of Canada and their financial numbers (i.e. revenues) are large enough and growing at a nice enough trajectory to justify the cash infusion and downside protection.</description>
