Matt also discusses the different level of diligence that's possible and how AIM-listed company management differ in how they and raise from unquoted companies.</p><p>Matt also talk about what happens after investment. He talks about the relationship with company management and the challenges that some private investors present. We also discuss liquidity and selling shares, how exits on AIM need to be managed and different approaches to doing that.
