Bro sounds like john wayne
I, I, I, I... I' ve grown billion dollar businesses. Lets start with one, name the one I can research. Interested in your book but I'd like know its worth reading. Please reference "real life" example(s). Thankyou
Thank you for sharing this session. Curious to know if the book includes case studies, and Without a keynote resume, is this path an option? Thank you!
When the seller rolls say 30% into the newco how does the PE company know how much equity to offer the seller in the newco? Presumably since the second bite of the apple will be much larger this equity stake in the potentially larger newco would likely be single digit equity. Interested to know how this is calculated.

Hey! Great question. Unfortunately, there is no standard answer, it is based on a multitude of factors and each deal is different.
