In her words – I am Dentist by profession but have taken a slight shift from my profession during motherhood. Took a career break for sometime and got little involved with my husbands business where I had a completely different experience of working as an entrepreneur. I realised,without shifting my profession there is so much we can add to dentistry.
As I have previously mentioned, there is lot more we can add to dentistry, then working in a clinic. In my previous article I have discussed on the merger of dentistry with entrepreneurship(Dentistpreneur )
Here, I am discussing on the merger of,
Dentist + Investor=Dentis-Tor
Rare but Smart combination.
Having a successful dental clinic? OR
Have multiple branches of your dental clinic? OR
Planning to invest your money?
Then don’t stop your scalability at this stage.
Here, is what you can merge with your dental practice-“Investment”.
WHO IS AN INVESTOR ?
An INVESTOR is a person who allocates capital to a company, with expectation of future financial return. Basically Investors are of 2 kinds,
- Angel investor-an individual who provides funds to startup or small companies for there growth, according to his wish and from his personal funds.
- venture capitalist-It is normally a group of investors providing funds to companies. You can collaborate with your colleagues or friends to start the venture and can invest according to everyone’s interest.
So can a dentist be an an investor ?
Can you as a Dentist invest your money in some
projects that can give you returns in future ?

Investing in which field depends on your interest and requirement. You may go for-healthcare sector, e-commerce, Education, technology, customer services, lifestyle, manufacturing etc
Investment do come with a Risk factor but – Smart and effective investment comes with a profitable factor, also called as “Vitamin M”
To create a good investor profile you need to,
- Search for start-up /company that interest you
- Do a proper research of that particular company
- Set up a goal of investment, as to how much you would like to invest
- Discuss the interest/share/Equity you will be receiving from that company
- Prepare a term sheet (A document which highlights all the terms and conditions of a business agreement)
And the deal is done. Once you are done with all discussions, term sheet, equity sharing etc you can go ahead and invest in that company.
So with the successful dental clinic now you are an angel investor/venture capitalist of an start up/company.
HOWZZ DATT !!!
Continue your dental practice and serve your patients the best possible way, along with earning from the company, as an investor.
Sometimes its better to work smarter than harder. As an angel investor you can also collaborate your dental clinic with your company, in case they benefit each other. And if you are a member of a venture, then you can discuss with other investors of your venture and raise funds accordingly.
Don’t stop yourself from being in hardcore industry just because you are a dentist but think visa-versa, as to what all you can add to dentistry as an dental practitioner.
“Widen your horizon as an dentist, and don’t just perform Dentistry in fact live with Dentistry”.
