HF vs. PE

Personally, Quantitive Hedge fund to minimize the human aspect of investing as much as possible.

Realistically, there’s so many dated, shit companies ran by old-heads that if you incorporated newer technology into their operations you could turn around extremely quickly.  Most upper level management at mid-sized businesses are incompetent and purely there for the paycheck.  If you are able to adopt a pure Machiavellian // Sociopathic mindset, you could trim the fat off a shitty company pretty easily, integrate a solid tech stack to streamline operations and 3x the value of the company in a like 15 months.  Nowadays, you can easily run a multi-billion dollar business with a team of 60 or so competent and passionate people.  Granted, taking this approach would probably ruin some peoples livelihood, but if the goal is to strictly turn $100m into a B, this would probably be the most viable approach.  Personally, I’d probably forego profits as well, and significantly lower the price of whatever product // service was being offered.  Profits should always come second to growth in my opinion because in the modern world, popularity // clout is the most valuable currency there is.  Ideally, this would artificially inflate the value of the company, and allow for a clean exit with juicy profit margins.
