Why I left Private Equity to Bet on Myself - Alex Angelov

Alex Angelov, my friend from investment banking who went on to work at Canada’s largest private equity fund discusses going to school at the “Wharton of Canada”, What investment banking recruiting out of undergrad is like and how just a few months into the job, private equity funds make you $400K offers. We talk about what private equity investors looks for and the traditional path to business school. Alex tells us why he left the world of finance to pursue his passion to run a business and how he intends to accomplish that through starting a search fund, and why he doesn’t need an MBA to do so. Alex talks about the logistics of starting a search fund, his pros and cons of business school and his favorite places to eat at in LA.
