Proud to call this city our home for almost nine years and counting. 👉 Unlike other PE firms these days, all 13 of us are working from one office in NYC five days a week, generating + validating unique theses, acquiring carefully marketmapped high-performing family owned companies, accelerating growth through rigorous performance improvement initiatives and enhancing safety programs, selling fully integrated market leading platforms, and generating top decile DPI for LPs no matter what market conditions exist. 👉 From NYC, we’ve acquired 90 companies already (that’s an acquisition every ~38 days since inception) and we’re just getting started! #newyorkcity #privateequity #hustle #productivity

Timing is everything. ⏰ In VC. It's not just about the intrinsic value of a business. But also its position in the market cycle. Downturns can be a breeding ground for good outcomes. Funding might be tougher. But it comes with unique opportunities. Why? Lower funding means fewer rivals. Chasing the same talent and market share. So, top talent acquisition. Becomes more attainable. This is something to think about. From our recent discussion with Davor Hebel, Managing Partner at Eight Roads. Got something to add? Join the conversation. 🔽 I can't wait to debate and expand the conversation. #venturecapital #angelinvesting #startupfunding #europe
