Summary: THIS IS AN AUDIO-ONLY VERSION OF A VIDEO INTERVIEW FOUND ON PRIVCAP.COM. VIEW THE FULL VIDEO HERE: Many private equity and venture capital firms say they target “growth companies.” But what are growth companies, and how can an entrepreneur recognize when his or her company has reached this critical stage? Chris Masto, Senior Managing Director at FFL, Jeffrey Bunder, Global Private Equity Leader for Ernst 8 Young, and Deepak Sindwani, a Partner at Bain Capital Ventures share their expert perspectives in the first of a three part thought-leadership series called “Igniting Growth and Innovation: Private Capital and Entrepreneurs.” Topics discussed in this segment include: what are the unique attributes and “growing pains” of companies that have left the start-up stage and entered the growth stage? Why have large private equity firms been “dipping down” into the growth space lately? What will this mean for competitive dynamics in the private equity market? What value-creation opportunities do Bain Capital Ventures and FFL focus on when investing in a growth company? Also included in this segment is an expert Q8A with Bunder of Ernst 8 Young, the sponsor of this series.
