Mr. X - 22 lessons from an anonymous investor whose last investment was $30M in a company with $170M in revenue
Description
Mr. X is a solo PE investor who co-invests with four large ($3-6 billion AUM) family offices, as well as other wealthy individuals.
His most recent deal size was a $30 million investment in a company that generates more than $170 million in revenue.
On this episode, I share 22 notes I made while spending two days with him in person:
- “Mikk, what are your strengths, what is the 0.00001% thing you are the very best at? Focus on that.”
- ”Raising money is f*cking hard. Closing a deal is f*cking hard. Anyone who says otherwise is either lying or selling you something.”
- “Absolutely the biggest lesson I wish I had learned 10 years ago - there are a lot of great deals out there. Patience is a virtue."
And much more.
