Great topic and conversation
Thesis statement: “Both #gps and #lps want private equity funds formed faster, more efficiently, and more effectively.” So *why* are Organization Expenses exploding? How is Fund VI so much more expensive than Fund I?! Where is the breakdown in this process, especially when the principles are working towards a decade-plus partnership? Lots of ideas on this - and how to address the issue - being explored here… What do you think? Is this a fixable issue?
