The Value is a show for entrepreneurs and investors interested in building and investing in companies that are scalable and highly valuable. Born in the Caribbean and presented to the world, the show is hosted by Kevin Valley, a Chartered Business Valuator and business consultant who has spent over 15 years 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.
