This issue around Health Plus is unfortunate but it's not unique in the business world.

If as a founder you get PE money never ignore the covenants/deliverables or if key numbers tank they will look to optimise

Either by changing leadership or by seeking a business pivot

And as a founder, sentiments aside, you should seek same also but I know how difficult it can be to see your baby go to someone else but if you've been following the numbers objectively, you would have considered improvements early on.

All this is easier said than done anyways

But a reminder to everyone seeking funding. Investors will not be investors if they don't seek business optimisation

This should challenge you and put you on your toes to deliver.

Now that's said, I think the business needs to be making headlines for service delivery

If as founder CEO, you sold majority stake in your business, you become a minority owner with Employment in the business

And last last, every employee can be fired
