I have known Dr. Eric Shelly for many years and I have invested in numerous opportunities that he has sponsored and will surely do so again.  Today, more than ever before, one needs to be cautious with whom they invest and in what types of opportunities they invest.  THE PRIMARY focus I have is the sponsor or managing partner.  Can you trust them?  Do they have the core competency?  Do they have the capacity or band width?  Do they have the track record?  Eric gets a positive check mark on all these items and more.
