Born in the Caribbean and presented to the world, The Value is a show for entrepreneurs and investors seeking to build and invest in companies that are scalable and highly valuable.
The show is hosted by Kevin Valley, a Chartered Business Valuator and business consultant who has spent over a decade evaluating companies for debt and equity investment.
During this time, Kevin found that while many business owners possess the passion and zeal to build enterprises that solve big problems and change the world, their business models and practices had common blindspots that prevented them from being attractive to investors, and able to command high valuations.
Kevin thus decided to use his voice to educate business owners at scale while working with investors to source profitable opportunities.
The result is The Value.
Do enjoy.
