Bill Ferris has led the field in Australian venture capital and private equity for more than 40 years. He has seen his share of successful floats, fly-by night wonders, and companies gone wrong. Here 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. There are priceless lessons for would-be investors and entrepreneurs in the insights the author can offer-how to raise funds, picking the right people, start-ups versus buyouts, IPO's and trade sales, all lessons drawn from personal experience. Along with numerous case studies of successful and not so successful ventures, Bill Ferris gives a detailed analysis of what makes a successful PE team, looks into the future of private equity, and summarizes the history of the industry from the 1970s. 600 10 Ferris, Bill|q(Bill D.) 610 20 Australian Mezzanine Investments Pty Ltd. 650 0 Venture capital|zAustralia. 650 0 Small business investment companies|zAustralia. 650 0 Private equity|zAustralia. 650 0 Investments|zAustralia. 740 0 Nothing ventured, nothing gained.
