For those working in PE value creation - is this pivoting strategy feasible or a waste of time and my hard earned cash:
1. Become an investor in say 2-3 small companies, with the agreement that I can make strategic decisions/be on the board,
2. Work with them to implement value creation strategies and evidence EBITDA growth,
3. Use this experience to pivot in PE value creation roles.
All thoughts welcome, thank you!

That’s essentially sort of a search fund. I’d imagine the scale of those companies are too small for real typical PE ops scope, where you are supposed to be working with senior people to drive change/outcome.

I’m just guessing so other people should correct me if I’m wrong. I’d say minimum $1-5M in EBITDA.

I’m torn because I do love being an IC but I’m interested in leadership also. What do I do?
