Story
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 make tidy returns on investment.

This is a certifiable book legitimized even in spite of the money, not in any manner like some various books out there which in some cases basically reorder from different sources. It is made enough for him to see, yet covers the critical things. I recommend this book to everyone.
