Supporting new investments

Pick a company that develops mediocre software and become an initial investor.  Then declare that this new software is the corporate standard at your existing company.  Once everyone at your company is using this software, switch companies to a new company and declare it as the corporate standard at your new company.  Repeat until your initial investment has turned into a handsome profit.  Don't worry, after a couple of years no one will remember that it was your fault they have to use some crummy software.
