We sat down with Michael Monaghan, Founder and Portfolio Manager of Founder ETFs, to discuss the powerful relationship between entrepreneurship, innovation, and long-term investment success. https://www.founderetfs.com/ [https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbGVQcmY5VlJFdkJZZlBQZ0RoLTd1eGtXUGlSQXxBQ3Jtc0tuQ0dYVUNhMjJRR183ckdWOXZZbDhXZmxRN3pOX0g2NzVsRGRhTnVaaEhpV25rbS0xMnhDY2RKT3FZZ3BmTVh1a01JMVNhTmJYcEtnRmxfU21QbGlTOXU4dEVwWURvQTMxRm8za015T0YyZHJZeXMtUQ&q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.founderetfs.com%2F&v=niRZZhgH5Es] Michael shares the philosophy behind investing in founder-led companies and why businesses with founders still actively involved in leadership often demonstrate unique characteristics — including long-term vision, alignment with shareholders, a willingness to innovate, and the ability to execute through challenges.
