DREAM scenario, share your thoughts!

Long time lurker, who just recently created an account after serious thought and intent to enter the finance world after 10 years of entrepreneurship and successful exits. My mind naturally thinks in big pictures and connecting dots at a high level. I've read a lot of threads about scenario specific circumstances but haven't found anything useful at a super high level. I thought I'd pose a scenario here, where the answers could help me better understand the market landscape of Finance and help me focus my efforts.

SCENARIO: Starting with yourself and maybe 1 partner, you had access to unlimited funds and you were able to tell the future, what would be your strategy? Would it even be in PE?

Any responses will be greatly appreciated!
