Look around on LinkedIn for specific examples but Bain historically places very very well into PE. 90% folks leave at the 2 or 3 year mark so AC or SAC. Comp will depend on fund that you exit to but heuristic is bigger = more comp. So LMM or small MM is 200-250, MM or UMM 250-300 and top funds pay 300-400

26M here looking into a micro-buyout opportunity in the Digital Asset Management SaaS space (library document management).

The buyout is projecting 8.9x cash on cash returns and IRR of ~53%. Entry valuation $5M (3.2x ARR), expected exit valuation $24.8M (5x ARR). Currently 38% ebitda margin, forecasted 55% in exit year - 5 year holding period

The minimum is $50k. Is it dumb to spin up an SPV with a few friends to invest in this? I know the GP of the acquiring firm.
