@BoringBiz_@piktoggle_ But this is a myth that doesn’t exist. The guy who makes partner at 35 got there through some combo of grind, luck, and being sharp elbowed and won’t spend the time to teach basics to a junior
@jay_21_ I think it’s mostly random undifferentiated middle market PE firms that have been raising the same sized fund for years and with meh track records. Usually wealth and connections of founders driving the existence so terminal risk after they retire
@FrankieFF_@jay_21_ Adversely selecting into shittier deals bc your diligence process is annoying / not commercial / off mkt and ppl don’t want to deal with you is a classic. It’s like the investing equivalent of the low mid high IQ bell curve meme
@jay_21_ The stats on how DPI is down, etc. are cool, but this chart above is kinda bs and just this ares team talking their book. Sponsor debt market is back to '21 levels on pricing / docs (if not worse) and people are doing up to 6x lvg. or higher with PIK toggles
@createthisbiz Curious why? If you can get more debt, all things equal, it’s always better for the sponsor. If you over lever the business you can always go and put in more equity to fix the cap stack and get to the same place you would have started had you put in that equity to begin with
@carrynointerest Huge difference in who can do the deal beteeen $5 and $10. Pricing depends on LTV and FCF conversion. If this is a 6x business at $5mm with lots of capex that’s very diff than if it’s a 10x biz at $10mm of EBITDA and still decent FCF conversion
Imagine you spent your teenage years, early 20s, and mid 20s grinding through AP studying, SATs, top 10 college coursework, an investment banking analyst stint, and maybe a PE gig all to end up in a small conference room w/30 ppl asking how AI impacts selling dog food
