What if there was an undercover industry that has impacted your life more than the Great Recession and Covid combined?

Welcome to the trillion-dollar world of private equity. What started as a $70,000 investment in 1957 has ballooned into one of the largest industries on Earth, and it’s just the beginning…

With an average deal value of $100 million in 2021, you may be curious about what makes this industry tick. If $100 million seems like an inconceivable number for a single deal—don’t worry.

Inside this book, we explain everything you need to know about private equity and how it made billionaires out of people like Stephen Schwarzman and Henry Kravis.

Here is just a fraction of what you will discover:
-The top players in the private equity game (hint: the largest firm has $1T in assets)
-How small teams of 5-10 get multi-million dollar deals with simple negotiation.
-How the secret sauce of private equity, the “leveraged buyout” is used to take over companies like Twitter and Toys R Us.
-Why Blackstone made a record $14 billion on its exit of Hilton Hotels in 2018.
-What it’s like to work inside a private equity fund: from competition to seven-figure compensation.

This is not a 600-page textbook about theoretical finance that takes a math degree to understand.

It is written in plain English and free from technical jargon. Each piece of terminology is clearly defined.

Even if you’ve never worked a day in your life, this book will pave the way to private equity, and you’ll be reaping all the rewards the industry offers.

Critic Reviews

“The learning curve for new private equity professionals is steep, with historically few resources beyond on-the-job training or an MBA. The value in this book is not just the transparency it gives to private equity dealmaking, but the actionable career advice it provides for breaking into the industry.”–Tyler Berk, Lecturer at Harvard Business School

“A clear and comprehensive introduction covering the stages of the private equity investment process from pursuit of the right deal to a successful exit and every step along the way. A must-have resource for both new and aspiring private equity deal makers.”–A.J. Smith, #1 New York Times Bestselling Business Author

The Hidden Trillion Dollar Industry of Private Equity is packed with intangible insights otherwise learned through decades of career experience. Written to provide a personalized journey, the book provides a detailed tour of the inner workings of deals at the largest private equity firms–from due diligence to exit. It’s a rare glimpse at a competitive and often exclusive industry.”–Michael Casleon, Oxford Saïd Finance Lab, Private Equity Programme
