It’s easier. Except instead of a bank loan, it’s raising money from a venture capitalist with better terms. There’s been multiple public companies by young founders that were funded this way, in the 2020s.

[@chrisandme23]

If you are outside of the northeast, it can be really hard to find a decent deli, with quality cold cuts and good bread. Jersey Mikes has allowed me to go to Texas and still feel like I'm at an NJ deli. In terms of fast food, they are far and above the best sandwiches, period.

His story reminds of the quote "To anyone who ever gave you confidence, you owe them so much." He is lucky to have a mother and a football coach (who happens to be a banker) who put so much confidence in him. And he paid that forward by trusting his employees as well by giving franchise rights to anyone interested. Seems like a legit good guy. Kudos!
