Publisher's summary

You are about to get a full glimpse into the inner world and workings of private equity to use it as an investor with confidence knowing fully well what you are getting yourself into!

Of all the ways of raising capital, private equity is perhaps one of the least talked about methods.

You will hear a lot about venture capital, debt financing and much more but most times, private equity is mentioned in passing as one of the ways of raising funds for a business.

Nobody talks about how to use private equity to raise money for businesses and nobody talks about how to venture into private equity as an investor. It seems like something that only big monied people can use.

But that’s not the case, ordinary people like you and I can invest in private equity firms and tidy returns on investment.

That’s not all; ordinary businesses (not just tech unicorns) are increasingly tapping into private equity funds to finance their growth and operations.

Are wondering how to "get in" into the world of private equity, whether as an investor or a business seeking private equity financing?

Do you want to uncover the veil of secrecy that has clouded private equity funds for years so that you too can go all in and benefit from it?

This book will help you to achieve just that by covering the A-Z of private equity so that even if you are a complete beginner, you have expert level understanding of the inner workings of private equity funds so that you can use that to your advantage.

In it, you will learn:

• The basics of private equity, including what it is all about, the terms used in private equity, the different roles played by different people in a private equity fund, their rights etc.
• The fee structure and economics of PE or who earns what?

Tough to listen to

Good book information. Narration is very difficult to listen to. Robotic and monotone. It’s like having an MBA level textbook being read to you without purpose. Should have sampled it first

Major value add for someone with intermediate knowledge of PE

The entire book has value from start to finish. The most interesting information, in my opinion was held within the final two chapters around digitization and agility at scale. Would recommend to anyone considering PE or already involved

Narration sounds like Siri

While the material is solid, the narration is poor. It seems like the narrator doesn’t know much about business as several terms are mispronounced. Also the inflection is extremely monotone. Overall the book is good but the audio performance takes away.

Sleeper

The narration was completely monotonous. My guess is that the narrator had no subject had no subject matter expertise to add inflection or interest. I typically love listening to audio books, but couldn’t continue past the first chapter.
