Origin of our Businesses
1. After working in GP roles for private equity and venture capital
firms we wanted to build a broader alternative asset
management platform that could provide more value to
investors and entrepreneurs alike
2. We envisioned a ‘three legged stool’ that would give us ‘idea
to IPO’ coverage where each leg of the stool had a distinct
focus and proprietary advantage to accel at their respective
‘zone’
3. We knew that we could build synergies between these
discrete asset management firms to leverage: cost
synergies, best practices advantages, network effects, pooled
experience and combined efforts to create a very unique and
powerful platform
4. We recruited world-class teams of domain experts in specific points
across the ‘alts’ spectrum, giving both investors and entrepreneurs the
ability to sponsor more of their needs thru capital support
5. We launched them sequentially so as to enable the necessary focus to
get each leg of our ‘stool’ built out effectively 6
OUR VISION
Create an alternatives
platform specifically for
private investors.

7. Proprietary and
Confidential.
The engine driving the platform consists of
three synergistic asset management businesses
Over the past decade we’ve developed a highly complementary and synergistic group of asset
management businesses. These businesses allow us to optimize for a risk-adjusted, scalable portfolio.

or Internship

10. ● Important to remember a first job is important but if you hate your
first job in today’s environment you can always move to another
job
● Use the opportunity to excel in your role, but also explore other jobs
that may be interesting to you
● Culture performance is as important on job performance
Finding a job
What's Super Important about a first job - current landscape,
expectations

11. Core Values
A culture of innovation built on these core values

12. Money
● If you can financially get support from others don’t make this about the
money. Make this about the experience and resume
Brand Matters
● Even an internship at Google will go a long way in your career
● Or work for a startup with strong financial investors (Founders Fund, Sequoia)

to working in a virtual
environment. The key in a

not in person

14. Freshman
● For companies to hire you its a negative ROI
● Hustle and hard work is what will make you stand out
● Don’t get discouraged if you are making photocopies of presentations for meetings
Sophomore
● Can you start to tie school projects to an industry that you want an internship in
● Build your own “advisory board” with industry experts that you can pick their brains on
Junior
● This internship matters
● Incorporate coursework
● Do you start to build on something outside of school with a few classmates. This could be
a presentation or business plan for a larger company or could be a startup
Finding a job or internship
What would your plan be if you were me to get great set of
experiences if I am a Freshman? Sophomore? Junior?

15. ● Self started projects for companies you want to work for. This could
be a part of your portfolio that you bring around as you network
and interview. There is a lot of information publicly available that
you can use to do your own research project
● Go offer to work for free for a family friend in an industry you want
to work in
● Build a pitch deck for a company you want to start
● Go work for a non profit organization or volunteer for a non profit
● Go travel to India
Finding a job or internship
What should I do if I don't end up get a good permanent or summer
job? Selling anything, customer service, self study???

16. Working Inside
a Startup

17. Investopedia Definition
● The term startup refers to a company in the first stages of operations.
Startups are founded by one or more entrepreneurs who want to develop
a product or service for which they believe there is demand. These
companies generally start with high costs and limited revenue, which is why
they look for capital from a variety of sources such as venture capitalists
Yes but....
● A lot of “startups” are really venture backed companies that sometimes
have more equity capital or cash than some public companies
● The key is to look at who the investors are. Crunchbase and Pitchbook are
great resources for research
