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.

Sharp as Expected
I recommend this to anyone as a first toe dip into understanding PE. I work for a very large Public Industrial Conglomerate. We do business with PE to sell businesses that do not fit the portfolio anymore. Now I see why PE is relevant in this function.
I sat on a plane with a young lady that does PE for a living and owns the company. I did not belong in the conversation, but now I understand why PE has such a profitable niche in M&A. There are things that PE can do that Public companies just can't. I loved it, will read more about PE.
Narrator is great, very clear, and great speed control
