Private equity is becoming increasingly large, but there are concerns about its impact on society if great companies remain private and inaccessible to public investors.

Finding the right private equity deals involves leveraging networks to identify profitable businesses where founders might want to retire or cash out. These are often successful but not suitable for public offerings.

Switching from venture-backed startups to private equity felt like moving from catching lightning in a bottle to a more stable and rewarding game, focusing on growing already successful businesses.

Private equity allows us to leverage our experience in running companies and investing. We prefer SPVs over large funds, focusing on deals where we can add value without the long timelines of startups.

Being an entrepreneur is challenging due to the lack of control over time. You might work 100 hours a week, but the uncertainty of how long it will take to succeed is daunting. Private equity offers shorter timeframes, avoiding decade-long commitments.
