ValueStream Labs on the evolving investor model in private markets

Solid piece by Karl Antle over at ValueStream Labs. Sets forth a similar shift in private equity investing that we espouse for ‘Transaction Advisory 2.0’: success at a fund level distills to superior access, and superior access distils down to a proven reputation for superior service. We argue the same: success in transaction advisory shifts from access and distribution at the time of transaction, to value creation and corporate development ‘as a service’, beginning typically much earlier in the corporate growth cycle.
