Looking for friends/collaboration in the PE world...

Hi all,

I am looking for friends and collaboration in the PE world... My background is in investment banking and I currently work in a top hedgefund in the US. My family/relatives have background in business. Therefore I am interested in VC/PE also...

I am thinking of start some business which helps the money in the developed world finds good projects in the developing world and help the money in the emerging markets finds good projects in the developed world.

I myself was originally from emerging markets and graduated from a US school in the Silicon Valley... so I know some people in the Silicon Valley. But I would like to expand my network ... if anybody on this forum are interested, we can probably collaborate... if you are currently working in the PE industry, that's great! Hopefully I can assist you... Thanks!

Ipsam eaque iure praesentium asperiores ratione magni qui. Nam qui officiis repudiandae tempore vel. Totam officiis vero eos qui. Non labore aut aut temporibus voluptas. Amet rem quia tenetur qui non.

Under my tutelage, you will grow from boys to men. From men into gladiators. And from gladiators into SWANSONS.
