Opinion

Zises: Barberino's Should Fund Expansion Via Profits, Not Venture Capital

“I'm not quite sure venture capital is the best capital for this business. I think slower and steady growth just funded by the EBITDA, the profit from the Italy business to expand into the US might be a better approach.”

Disclosure

Zises passes on Sundae due to portfolio conflict with Grocer's List
