well put together. thank you
I have been investing in public stocks and wondering what is private equity so I thought to give this book a try. This is book really gave a lot of valuable information to me. I like the concept of darwin price for operating partners and the Table describing how to fail as fast as an OP and explaining why it was a disaster.
I like this book clearly explain using analogies to get reader grasp the why under the concepts. There are plenty of figure as well that help me visualize the concept. It very effective to me since I am a visual learner. I’ll get into that private equity soon.
