Private-Equity Secrets of Thoma Bravo's Billionaire Boss
Jun.30 -- Orlando Bravo is embracing all things post-pandemic: flexible work arrangements, less travel and deal-making by Zoom. It's a calculated bet to maintain the competitive edge that has turned his firm, Thoma Bravo, into one of the top performers in private equity. In this interview, the firm's billionaire co-founder and managing partner discusses his investing philosophy, demand for software, the challenges of raising capital and SPACs. He spoke exclusively to Erik Schatzker on Bloomberg's Front Row.

This interview to me is evidence that the most successful people in the world are clear thinkers and great communicators. I also loved his story of how tennis shaped him (can relate as a tennis player myself).

@@jimj2683Larry Ellison, Oprah Winfrey, George Soros, Palmer Luckey, Howard Schultz…need more examples of billionaires that came from nothing? Silicon Valley is also full of immigrants from extremely poor backgrounds that founded unicorns…. Stop telling yourself that the only reason you are not successful is that you were not born in a wealthy family and start putting in the work!
Great Interview, learned a lot. Can you do more of these types of interviews with other private equity technology/software firms like francisco, vista, symphony...
Beautiful view of Coit tower. Interviewer asked then listened quietly. Your best interview imo.
This guy is a captivating speaker as well as one who speaks directly and to the point.
Amazing interview definitely like the company core values 1) open- minded 2) collaboration 3) performance orientated
Fantastic interview. Bravo is definitely outsmarting his competition.
Well conducted and insightful interview. Orlando thinks and speaks clearly. Bravo! 👏
Excellent interview! Keep em’ coming.
Excellent interview. Thank you, I subscribed!
This is an awesome and insightful interview. Please have more of these interesting people. Also appreciate the interviewer for letting the guest speaker speak!
Very thoughtful and insightful!
This is an amazing interview. You can tell Orlando knows his stuff! Real Skin In The Game.
Knowledge, right there, no short cuts...He got game
WHOLESOME INTERVVIEW WITH THE EAGLES EYES ! THANK YOU ❤.
Orlando! Let’s take over a whole industry together. Good people will find each other and go to the moon together.
thank you
Great come-up story. Great firm as well. Going places.
I like the way he conveys his views,something worth replicating
solid interview
Smart, successful, handsome, well spoken and Puertorrican! ❤
Orlando Bravo has a very interesting story and absolutely knows the field. His success speaks volumes. Especial how he got there. Love to see his interviews and the amount of info he shares.
I'm a fan, Bravo!
Good interview Erik. Orlando is awesome
Quality conversation.
Great interview, love most of what he said except about shorts. Now I agree they play a role in markets.
A wide view w societal consciousness! Management con servico, for the people!
Orlando is one of the greatest minds in the world.
Orlando's biggest advantage over the other Silicon Valley venture capitalists is that he believes in fundamentals. That's what wins in the long run.
Very smart guy
What is the goal of the software companies ( univorn) to go public with SPAC !?
Helps knowing to converse in the sentiment! Cultural with brackets. Not to forget mes Jibaros, country people!
More PE execs please!!!!!
Sounds like an infomercial to find ideal companies to investment in.
Talking about Stocks some been unlisted from New York Stock Exchange because going private but negative side harder invest your retirement money.
He adds negative value to companies, uses debt to buy great companies then guts them via outsourcing all R&D, I following historic entrepreneurs like Kazuo Inamori who founded Kyocera in Japan and was CEO of Japanese airlines, he was also a Shinto Priest. He said everything he did was to add benefit to the world to also refine his own virtues and soul he focused on adding value, innovation and quality to other's lives Bravo who's methods I have studied to is does the opposite, he is coming from the lose/won perspective that to earn money he has to undermine the quality of other's lives, Anaplan and many other companies he bought with debt, have lost their innovative edges and employees wages and benefits are flatlined, fires many. This is not a business model I follow or am inspired by. Servant Leadership like Inamori and 1000's of others do is the one I respect.
Mr Bravo technology changing faster than climate.Hence innovation is important for any software company otherwise they would lose their ground.
Internal interest to venture outward yet dually connected.
Very proud of been Puerto Rican.

What he has achieved so far is Great. But In my opinion Just investing in tech is risky. If there is a downturn it could be hit hard.

Thats his point - software is a business model, not an industry. There is no economic trend that hits all software equally

Did he discuss the hundreds of millions he lost investing in FTX? Invested in FTX knowing they had no CFO or Board of Directors. What a fool.

This Orlando Bravo is a successful and fascinating business man, but all of these softball questions made this interview more like a public relations piece. This is the same reason why so many autobiography business books are worthless since the author just wants to promote themselves as being a great guy. The interviewer should have researched specific deals, both successful and unsuccessful, this guy has done. Nothing was learned from this interview.
Everyone us using the word disruptive everywhere ! Dynatrace is a giid product but nothing extraordinary!

He didn't tell the truth about coming to Florida because the lower taxes and a friendly capitalist environment. I understand he don't want to get in politics but living in those Democrats States it's nonsense
