Even Obi Wan Has MAde Some bad Deals

17,000 Credits

The name 17,000 credits was taken from the scene above, where Obi-Wan Kenobi negotiates a ride to Alderaan (RIP) on the famed Millenium Falcon. This negotiation is a great case-study for how risk assessment can be critical when trying to make a decision. I also just think Han Solo is really cool. 

Kenobi Capital

This website was created to explore the Venture Capital and Startup Community (focused on the Midwest). I want to better myself as an investor and improve my business evaluation skills. This blog is where I come to do that. This blog does not represent the views of my employer.

Death Star Economics

This is the section of the blog where I will be discussing anything from movies, to economics, to golf, and much more. It's always healthy to have a couple of hobbies. 

I was inspired by a research paper written by Zachary Feinstein of Washington University in St. Louis. Educators like that man are what gives us hope for the future of America. Learning can be fun too.
