What Silicon Valley Doesn't Get About Private Equity with Brent Beshore
Brent Beshore (@BrentBeshore), founder and CEO of Adventur.es, joins Erik on this episode.
They discuss:
- What makes Adventur.es “the inverse of traditional private equity,” including why they don’t add debt to a company’s balance sheet when they purchase a company and intend to keep the existing leadership around.
- What Silicon Valley doesn’t get about private equity, how it’s different from venture, and how VC and PE might interact in the future.
- Some of the industries that Brent thinks are overlooked and the breakdown of some of their past investments.
- The book he wrote, The Messy Marketplace, and the lessons it holds for business owners.
- The state of the macro environment and how they think about it at Adventur.es.
- How they evaluate potential investments and business partners, and his strategies for evaluating people in general.
