Designed for an MBA course on private equity, this textbook (now version 1.7) aims to familiarize any listener with the jargon and mechanics of private equity using simplified examples, real-life situations, and results from thorough academic studies. The intention is to have a book that can be listened more like a novel than like a regular textbook. In order to have long-lasting impact on listeners, I believe in making things as simple as possible, boiling everything down to the essence, going straight to the point, and, most importantly, writing in an informal and hopefully entertaining way. The objective is for the listener to play this audiobook with anticipation of having a good educational time.

A Broad but Overly Introductory Textbook

This book is perhaps too accessible, trying to be all things to all people when it comes to covering the basics of Private Equity. Much of this is done from the perspective of a prospective LP who's trying to understand the industry, its business model, and the most prominent firms. If you're at all familiar with PE you probably won't get very much from this, but if you've only heard about it in a few articles you're likely to learn something
