Usman Sheikh's Linkedin Analytics

I never wanted to be an entrepreneur. Getting fired within 2 weeks of my internship at one of the largest investment banks in the world changed the trajectory of my life. I started my first business with my college roommate in 2003. 21 years later, having started, scaled and sold multiple companies I thank my first manager for firing me everyday. Today I manage a portfolio of businesses and investments under my personal holding company called High Output Ventures based out of Singapore. I have a very simple thesis of who I am looking to partner and work with: ‣ The individual is between the ages of 30 - 45 years old ‣ Is frustrated at their job or a business they are running ‣ Has developed a key skillset and has deep expertise in a specific domain ‣ Wants to start their own business but wants to partner instead of going solo ‣ Has identified an opportunity in the market which fits their skillset and experience ‣ Can pick up the phone and get 10 potential prospects on the phone ‣ Lastly, wants to build the company fully remote If the above criteria sounds like you, I hope you will send me a DM! For everyone else, I write and share about my journey and am always looking to connect with individuals who share a passion for entrepreneurship and those who have become world class at their craft.
