You should start your own private equity firm. Today. But how? 12 years ago, when my partners and I started ParkerGale Capital, we couldn't find a field guide. So we built one. And now it's yours. For free. Check out our 5-part Substack series, called PE 101. - Starting a firm - Raising a fund - Buying a company - Improving a company - Selling a company As always, you can find all this on YouTube, Spotify, and Apple, too. Just look for The Private Equity FunCast where all fresh produce is sold. And subscribe where you are over there, cuz that's the only way other people find it. Link in the comments
We love your podcast. PE space is a mystery for most people - you make it simple and fun. Would you join us as a guest on our tech podcast in the UK?🇬🇧
Only 12 years ago!! What were you?? Like 14 yrs old. Was that even legal?
Devin, this is great, one more thing I would add there which takes patience is building your Talent Stack (the team of Human+ AI Operators in new realm) that can be deployed in your companies effectively. These things are free today at everyone is trying to figure out for themselves at SmallPE Community.
Following! But I have a question, as this has been playing on my mind a lot, and the plan I built in my head has the same steps but in a flipped order: 1. Buy -> improve -> sell 2. Use that first case to make the fund raising much easier What have I missed/haven't accounted for?
This is exactly the resource I needed. Bookmarking PE 101 now.
This is a goldmine. Having a roadmap like this is so rare in the PE world, thanks for opening up the playbook, Devin!
This is great, guys! Thanks for putting this out there!
More founders should understand private equity mechanics. Ownership changes how you think about growth and value. Devin Mathews
