Last month, my LinkedIn feed was filled with posts from private fund managers showcasing their presence at IPEM Paris. Seeing the volume of engagement, I knew I had to dig deeper into what makes IPEM resonate so strongly with both LPs and GPs. So, I reached out to Antoine Colson, the CEO of IPEM, and I’m thrilled to share that he sat down with Private Equity Marketeer for our latest interview: Building an Event that Stands Out: Lessons from IPEM’s CEO Antoine Colson With 1,200+ LPs and 1,000+ GPs attending, IPEM Paris has become much more than just another event. It’s built a genuine sense of community, a place where meaningful connections thrive, and where the private markets’ top minds come together for discussions that matter. Antoine shared the intentional strategies that make IPEM stand out, from fostering real interaction to creating a platform that delivers value well beyond the event itself. We also went beyond private markets and talked about his favorite brand of all time, one that’s famous for its rebellious spirit and strong sense of community. His answer might surprise you (as it did me). Whether you’re looking to refine your own event strategy or curious about how IPEM captured the attention of the industry’s most influential players, Antoine’s insights are invaluable. The interview is available on our website and linked in the first comment below. #privateequity #marketing

It’s been nearly a year since I started as a recruiter at Hyppies, and it’s been a whirlwind of growth, challenges, and belonging. Here, it’s not just about checking boxes—it’s about thriving in a compassionate, family-like culture. The word “family” might get thrown around in corporate circles, but at Hyppies, it’s lived. You grow, stumble, and rise again—but never alone. Recruitment brings daily hurdles—tight deadlines, demanding clients, and the hunt for the perfect candidate. But the supportive environment here keeps me grounded. In a fast-paced culture, I’ve learned that balance isn’t optional—it’s essential. The biggest lesson? Knowing when to pause. Stepping back to recharge isn’t a weakness; it’s the reset needed to come back stronger. Each break helps me realign with my goals and ensures I’m moving in the right direction. The team here fosters this balance. Challenges are met with camaraderie and genuine care. We push boundaries but always with compassion—that’s how we thrive together. As Hyppies grows, so do the opportunities. Right now, we’re looking for expats from Indonesia, expats in Malaysia, and local Malaysian talent to join our clients' team in exciting roles.

How bad can failure be? The interesting thing about failure is that it’s always scarier in your head, and less devastating when it plays out. Why? Because most of the time, it doesn’t happen. Now I’m not talking about those times where you worry for the worst, sit through it, then say “aha! I knew it would happen” - that’s different. I’m taking about the times where you actually work at that failure. Many times failure does not just happen. It goes through an unraveling process and the sooner you see it coming, you will be working to mitigate it, eliminate it or to face it head on - knowing what it could entail. In such situations, you either: 🌟 Overcome it 🌟 Succumb to it knowing you’ve done your best I’ve been taking a lot of risks since I started my entrepreneurship journey and I could’ve lost it all at every turn. But that’s where the magic is - always working despite failure. And if there’s one thing I’ve learnt that’s scarier than failure: it’s not recognizing it ☠️
