While nothing is easy, getting together 100m or 500m in investments, with a solid business plan isn't really all that hard. It happens many many many times, every single day of the week... and while a 100m may sound like a lot, it really is a drop in the bucket.

Most investors have no say in the day to day business, they just invest. Some do sit on the board though, and have voting powers... which is normal.

Anyway... what Nathan has been doing is very normal for anyone in real Business - which something 99% of us in this Industry pretend to be doing.
