Tony Wilkins
Private investor at Standing Oaks Venture Partners. Started investing in 1991. I invest in coachable people who I admire, respect and trust.
Strengths
says, "Hyper-Local, impact investment in real estate that can anchor and support the people in the neighborhood. This is what triple bottom line investing is all about. With the space for the property pre-sold to a meaningful extent, 25 Bough Street is a good investment for people who want to see their dollars at work when they visit on a road trip."
Advice
says, "I always love to come to a place where the people at the front desk make me feel like there's magic inside. Do the Disney thing and be sure that the "First Impression Officers" make everyone who visits excited to bring their friends back over and over."

What Investors Say

LEAD INVESTOR
Invested $2,000 this round
I am excited to be the Lead Investor for this transformative project. Along with a financial commitment I am also pledging at least 100 hours as a volunteer to help get additional (non-dilutive) funding through grants and sponsorships through connections I've maintained since working as a human service executive in the region. Everything presented about the need for a center like this there and the potential for success truly resonated. Over time I've learned that the primary predictor of success in my crowdfunding portfolio is the person or people who are leading the project, so I took the opportunity to get to know Lanre. His knowledge, energy, commitment, and thoughtfulness are impressive. His passion to help people is contagious, so it's not surprising that he's also got terrific connections, including the talented group of Advisors listed here, and also people in high places who control potential funding or can bring great visibility to the project. There is a unique opportunity here to really create positive change for children and families; In fact, it could turn out to be the best of both worlds - you'll feel good about the returns on your investment because they mean that kids got the opportunities they deserve.
