As a candidate how would you screen a small private equity firm offer?
Do you ask to speak to LPs? PortCo CEOs?
How do you go about getting info to verify returns history etc? How do you verify fund size/AUM if they aren’t reported on in things like PEI 300?
Are there additional things to consider during contract negotiations?
