Your Cohesive Team Can Move Together

H. Friedman Search

Man has been and always will be a social animal. We like to be around people. The recluse of society is shunned, but the social ones are enamored. As 2024 has started, individual bond counsels and public finance bankers don’t want to make a move themselves. However, they would readily engage if they had a cohesive team move together.

Mergers and Inquisitions

Let’s start with the elephant in the room: yes, we’ve covered the growth equity case study before, but I’m doing it again because I don’t think the previous examples were great. They over-complicated the financial model (e.g., minutiae about issues like OID for debt issuances ) and did not accurately represent a 1- or 2-hour case study.
