Bill Ferris has led the field in Australian venture capital and private equity for over forty years. He takes readers into the world of private equity, with a wealth of stories on the successes and failures, deals that went right and deals that went wrong.
He offers insights into how to raise funds, pick the right people, start-ups versus buyouts, IPOs and trade sales. Along with numerous cases studies of successful, and not so successful, ventures, Ferris also gives a detailed analysis of what makes a successful PE team, looks into the future of private equity and summarises the history of the industry from the 1970s.
