# Matthew Shane > Venture Capitalist | Top Ranked Commercial Real Estate Broker My position as the President & CEO of Shane Global Ventures! From my time as a contractor to my time working on Wall Street to selling hundreds of millions of dollars of commercial real estate from Montauk to Manhattan, everything has led to this. Real estate agent @ 18 Investment banker @ 19 Self made multi-millionaire @ 20 Commercial real estate broker @ 20 As the President and CEO of Shane Global Ventures I help connect people, money & opportunities in a strategic way. I look at hundreds of investment opportunities per year, and I invest in roughly 1-2% of those opportunities. I negotiate great equity stakes in companies, which ultimately creates great value for my investors and the companies I invest in due to the value my team & I bring to the table. I spend time working with the leadership at different companies to understand their vision to ultimately help them get where they want to go. When investing I look for companies that have great leadership & good vision. I don’t invest in companies that I don’t understand and I don’t invest in companies if all I feel I can offer them is money; after all I’m not a bank. When coming into a company I use some thing I like to call the fresh eyes advantage. As Shane Global Ventures Genesis I Fund matures I find myself spending more time, supporting portfolio companies, helping them with recruiting, raising money, strategy, networking, marketing, etc.). I spend a great deal of time networking with talented, innovative people, and other VCs. Here at Shane Global Ventures, we look to invest in a A, B & C rounds. Some of the target areas we focus on are real estate, technology, and other vertically integrated opportunities. My time on Wall Street, and the time I spent as a commercial real estate broker lead me to have great lasting connections with many brilliant people in different sectors who’s expertise can be called upon. I spend a great deal of time educating investors whom are invested in other areas (that aren’t as passive) about how they can potentially get a much greater return with less work on their end by entering the venture-capital world of investments. ## Offerings - Video call (15 min): $1500.00 ## Example Questions - How can I expand my business? - How can you help my business? - How can I get to a seven figure income? - How can I have a more balanced life? ## Links - [Expert profile](/MatthewShane) - [Avatar](https://media.intro.co/avatars/626339U00sD3Ti.jpg) - [Marketplace](/marketplace)
