Private Equity Industry Orange County Update. OCTANe. Necessity is the mother of invention. While going public is an increasingly difficult option for start-up companies, going private is an increasingly attractive possibility – that is, the opportunities associated with private equity financing. Did you know that more OC companies have gone private in the last few years than have gone public? Further, many OC company founders get growth capital and liquidity exits not through M&A but through private equity. Private equity is a large and dynamic asset class with deals in Orange County that can range from several million dollars to multi-billion dollars. See http://www.octaneoc.org/events/private-equity |
