Great to see Five V Capital launching their Frontier Fund I that will focus on the lower-mid market, an area with untapped potential. The focus on companies with sub-$7m earnings is critical, especially as many of these businesses face challenges as generational family businesses, opening the door for the right strategic investment or growth partners Spark Equity Partners acquisitions of Ultralift Australia and Westberg Sheetmetal came from this belief, and it has been a rewarding journey so far. With a focus on identifying business that might not be on the radar for traditional Private Equity firms but offer significant growth if you're willing to engage directly with the team and build from within. This certainly supports the idea that this market is an upcoming opportunity, and it’s reassuring to see firms like Five V Capital paving the way. Hats off to Adrian MacKenzie, Srdjan Dangubic, Chris Adams, and the team, looking forward to seeing how Frontier Fund I shapes the industry. #PrivateEquity #BusinessGrowth #BusinessStrategy #LowerMidMarket #GenerationalBusiness #InvestmentOpportunities 

VC distributions sink to 14 year low. Why? Here is one thing VCs seem to ignore that their private equity counterparts know and do well. Actively manage the exit process. As you know, there are 3️⃣ levers of value creation. 1. Multiple arbitrage (buy low, sell high) 2. Operational improvement (roll up your sleeves) 3. Financial Leverage. As David Beckham would say to his lovely wife, Victoria, "let's #behonest". > Point 3. is not relevant in venture capital. > Most have been bragging about 2. but don't do much. 😏 > And worse, most VCs have been sitting on their hands with respect to #1. 😡😤 Main take away = VC is as much about buying than it is about selling. This is why it's about time VCs get themselves a #dpisquad! And start actively managing their portfolio liquidity. Yes, it's hard work. But there is no other way.
