Summary
Tim Calise was an entrepreneur from a very young age; after starting several businesses in college, he had the distinction of raising $325 million before the age of 25!
And then with remarkable foresight he gave it all back to investors, as he wasn’t confident in the investing landscape of 2008.
Today, Tim is dedicated to helping reverse engineer how to make other people's dreams come true and his goal is to help businesses become more valuable and more successful.
A husband and father of 3, today Tim has founded or grown 6 companies to 7 or 8 figures.
"In life, you are only limited by the options that you have, and your options are only limited by your imagination.”
