Ep 34 - Search Funds: What You Need to Know (Saumil Jariwala, Managing Partner @ Feta Fund)

I got to sit down with Saumil Jariwala to discuss his path to private equity, including my path from consulting (not banking!) to PE. We also spend a substantial amount of type talking about the history and opportunity in the search fund space, a small but rapidly growing and highly profitable segment of private equity.
