3G Capital & Berkshire Hathaway & Bain
I want to share my opinion on some companies that I like in terms of their accomplishments and uniqueness including 3G Capital, Berkshire Hathaway, and Bain and was wondering what are some other interesting ones that exist out there, not necessarily based on accomplishments or unique business model.
So, 3G Capital, one of the outsiders, calls itself and by media a PE firm while in reality not a traditional 2/20 PE firm, founded by Lemann, Sicupira, and Telles. These guys are from Brazil and have created their own Goldman there, sold it and created 3G (i think its about right), they spent years developing their retail business and then the beer business. They bought Amazon beer after 10 years of operations but after that they bought the huge Belgian Intervew and then US Anheuser-Busch which was unheard of. Warren Buffett invested along with them and really values Lemann and the trio. They don't really like the publicity though, at least not in US just like Tiger Global Management, whats up with that? Whats the benefit?! These guys are inspiring and are the pathfinders.
Many people here know Berkshire Hathaway and I was surprised to learn that Larry Page designed Alphabet like BH, which is really about executives being CEOs of the companies while the BH and Alphabet are the holding companies, empowering people is one of the greatest arguments for this kind of structure, probably came from the new CFO from MS.
Bain is also kinda cool, build a great consulting business, ex-partners of BCG, which I believe is a great platform to start other businesses - many businesses start this way. Consulting provides learning opportunities and you can see the gaps in industries and have a chance to fill them. Many people like Bain because of their Consulting+PE (inc. VC) business, thou not directly related, i think its more of a brand thing that Romney used to start the PE business, but seems like there is a close culture in these two.
Anyway, this is just a quick overview of these three companies and would love to know what are some other companies that you maybe inspire you?
Anheuser-Busch InBev ended Monday down 1.85 percent on a report that the brewer might have its eyes on U.S. beverage giant Coca-Cola for its next acquisition.
3G Capital, the Brazilian investment firm that merged food giants Kraft and Heinz last year with help from Warren Buffett, is now seeking to raise at least $5 billion for a new acquisition fund.
