Private equity isn't a monolith; it typically falls into three categories: buyout, venture, and growth.
Buyout firms focus on mature, stable companies where they acquire a controlling stake. Venture capital, supports earlier-stage startups with higher risk but also higher potential rewards.
Growth equity bridges the gap, funding companies past the startup phase that are rapidly expanding but require additional capital to reach their next milestone.

The landscape of public companies has shifted dramatically over the past 25 years, with companies increasingly staying private for longer or never going public at all. This trend is exemplified by companies like SpaceX, which remained private for over two decades, fueled by access to private market capital.
For investors, this shift presents a compelling trade-off: locking up capital for extended periods. The allure lies in potential performance. Private markets offer access to a wider, more diversified pool of companies, including those that may be mispriced. This allows investors, through private equity, to identify and capitalize on unique opportunities for significant returns, often experiencing a smoother investment journey compared to the volatility of public markets.
