Investing Right To Protect Your Venture From Dilution with Kasandra White

Investing can be a risky project, and not every business is a venture for you. To get it right, you need to follow the right criteria and have a plan in place. Having the right plan can be one of the most rewarding experiences. It can help you build your wealth on solid ground. Building your investments without a strong plan in place risk dilute your control, and you can find yourself not having much ownership of the company you created. What you’ve been able to create is so valuable and investing right is the first step to winning the game.

She focuses on women’s health, and she works with different organizations where they focus on challenging the health facilities that exist. Kasandra is passionate about what she does, and she always goes beyond clinical medicine to community advocacy.
