Hyatt: Boundless is not investable right now
“My, when I step back and I look at this I don't think your business is actually that investable right now. What I expected to hear was after raising three and a half million, that you would have thought through the business a little more. I wanted you to come …”

Michael Hyatt: Tire Agent works best as a cash-flow lifestyle business
“I think this is the most amazing lifestyle business. This guy understands how to work that New York market. He could get out a million bucks of free cash flow a year. He could pay all his investors. He could make three, 400 grand a year and be very happy.”

Michael Hyatt: Average Consumers Won't Use Apps to Reserve High-End Wine
“What you're describing is a niche subset of the wine. You have to really be into wine to do what you're doing to, like, look at your phone, find an app, find a bottle. The average person's not going to do that. The average American consumer does not do that.”

Hyatt: Better to pass than give in to FOMO without diligence
“After a show typically there's a buzz around these companies, and they all gonna raise their round extremely quickly, within a matter of weeks, and if you can't do due diligence enough, ask enough people, you can't, if you don't get enough comfort, then it's b…”

Hyatt: Fletch should pivot to enterprise workforce attendance over education
“I don't like the education space and what you're doing. I would like you to be an enterprise product for businesses, for attendance, for workers, where there's real money transacting involved. I think that's the higher value usage, and I think you're going to …”

Hyatt: Fletch is a feature rather than a standalone product
“I'm not that interested in your attendance platform because I think it's a feature, not a product, and it's got a hurdle because it's not only a feature, I've got to put in a piece of hardware, so I'm moderately interested, not that interested.”

“I would like to pay a higher valuation for your company, and I'd like to put in more money when you have 500 or a thousand of vending machines, and I'd like to pay for that, right? I'd like to pay a 10, 15, twenty million dollar valuation when you have actual …”

Michael Hyatt passes on Samaritan, feeling uncomfortable profiting from alleviating homelessness
“So I'm gonna pass, and here's my reasoning. I can't get comfortable around being involved in a business like this because I don't feel comfortable pushing for profit and scaling and all this kind of stuff, and when I have to consider what we're really doing.”

Bobbi Racette says Hyatt's complex terms required a $250,000 investment, not $25,000
