Finding family offices - does anyone have a good source (free or purchased) for a database of family offices that make private equity investments?

Pitchbook is a good source to find investors/ family offices. You can filter by location, sectors, openness to invest in first-time fund managers, etc.

Related to a project for a $15m EBITDA business services company.

Agree with previous on Pitchbook. In Europe where I am based FO’s aren’t very easy to approach, because every man and his dog are trying to sell them something. Would also point out FO’s are more likely to co-invest than lead on a deal, preferring to trust an institution to handle DD.

Hi everyone! I work in personal lines and I’m looking to start selling more life insurance. I want to start with cross selling to those in our book of business. Does anyone have tips that they’ve found successful in starting the conversation? Term/perm convos etc? I’ve read up on our products and my boss doesn’t really train on this and it’s more of a figure it out yourself approach he takes so any tips would be appreciated.

I had my PHR back in early 2000, then made a career change to a paramedic (I know, right). I called SHRM and they said I'm eligible to test again even though I only currently have 1.5 yrs of HR.

I purchased the online study guide and it seems that HR has gone in a completely different direction - more operations related than employee relations etc.

Did anyone find this online training to be helpful? I test in July, so any tips would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks - lauren
