Description

Private Equity (PE) is not something you can learn at university, yet you find it everywhere. Google, Alibaba, Arms Holdings which makes the chips that go into most smartphones including those produced by Apple and Samsung, and Versace are all owned in whole or in part by PE firms, with more deals being made everyday.

Whether you are in finance, business, economics, or even law, a solid grasp of PE is essential in today's corporate world, and this course will help you get started. It is structured over five bite-sized lessons that you can watch on-the-go, and totals 25 minutes in pure content, with a quiz at the end to ensure that you understand what you have learned about PE.

I am a PE professional with over 20 years of experience from all sides of PE, Venture Capital (VC) and Mergers & Acquisition (M&A). I've been on both ends of the table as investor and investee, and now I aim to share my knowledge with young professionals like you. With this course, I am putting PE in a simple and easy to digest way so that everybody can learn about PE.

If you have any questions, send me a message - my door is always open.
