From Infantry to Investing in Business: How veterans at Cold Bore Capital are helping companies become multi-million-dollar operations

We talk with Army veteran, Infantry Officer and former West Point hockey player Matt Schachman, who works on a unique team of veterans (and partners with Special Operations backgrounds) to lead mid-level businesses to massive growth.

It was a big departure from leading platoons in Iraq and Afghanistan, so we begin with the lessons he learned leading troops in combat. But more than the usual war stories- Schachman reflects on a pivotal moment with an Iraqi police chief, and how he learned a vital lesson in leadership from working with those who hold a drastically different world view.

Schachman shares more about his transition from the military to investment banking and the advice he received about ways to operate “at the tip of spear” in finance.

We also learn how Cold Bore Capital is able to effectively take companies from mid-level revenue to multi million dollar earnings through their expertise in capital investment, business management and mergers-acquisitions.

For any veteran considering scaling their business, or a career in finance, Matt is great resource.
