While the likes of Javier García Teruel Avila has been a prominent figure in private equity in his homeland for years, the market means there are even more opportunities for successful private equity investors such as him to take advantage of.

Well, in most forms of angel and early-stage private equity investing, these breakdowns flow from a misunderstanding of the power and nature of outliers. The concept of outliers and how they apply to early stage private equity investment was best described by the Lebanese thinker and writer Nicolas Taleb, in his best-selling books "Fooled by Randomness" and "The Black Swan." So does this mean that early stage private equity investing is for the birds?

The other day Steve told me his latest idea. I could barely mutter two words in reply when he cut me off. "I I forgot who I was talking too," he blurted out, "you don't like any of my ideas." Interestingly, when he said that, I felt like a venture capitalist.

Private equity/venture capital managers have a much longer duration than most any other fund type. In 2018, the 8,000 active private equity funds globally had a 15 to 16 percent annual performance differential between top and bottom quartile funds. Lastly, I’ll highlight that emerging private equity funds are a different ecosystem than VC; it’s much more common for small private equity funds to use a placement agent than small VCs.
