The interesting part is that the company being bought usually takes on the debt directly. Then the company’s profit (from what it earns) is used to pay back the loan/interest on the loan. That’s why PE firms look for businesses that make steady money — it’s less risky for the PE firm to deal with. What else would you add to this?

PE firms are like coaches with their own superpowers—some are great at building dream teams, others at cutting waste and scaling fast. It’s all about knowing their strengths and specialities. Can you believe there’s over 10,000 PE firms? Although this number is difficult to quantify!! #mbalife #womeninbusiness #mbastudent #finance #businessschool #mbastudents #womenintech #womeninfinance #banking #investmentbanking #privateequity #investing

the business made it out of the group chat!! Can’t believe we’re finally picking up our matcha and seeing it in person! Our matcha’s farm is organic, small family owned, single source, single origin, and rare. Our first cultivar, okimidori, makes up only 2% of green tea out there. She has notes of green walnut, mulberry, and toasted sesame. We are so proud to share this with you!! 💙🌀 stay tuned for more of the adventure. #matcha #womenempowerment #womeninbusiness #womenownedbusiness #mbastudent #womenintech #startup #entrepreneur #matchalover

It is counterintuitive. You need to fail when you’re young so you learn how to get back up because if your biggest failure happens later on it’s gonna be that much harder to pick yourself up. that’s why we should be failing a little bit every single day. What are you doing today to practice rejection and failure? 😮‍💨👏🏻 #womeninbusiness #mbastudent #womenintech #businessschool #mbalife #mbastudents #student #womenempowerment #finance #womeninstem

One of my favorite questions to ask successful people is what advice they would give if to their young selves. John’s two biggest piece of advice is to take bigger risks and to be an incredible storyteller. I think those two attributes are the foundation to becoming successful. #womeninbusiness #mbastudent #womenintech #businessschool #womenempowerment #finance #womeninstem

I say this with love: working for yourself and pursuing your passion is not all rainbows and sunshine. There are days where it gets ugly. Before you ditch the 9–5 for your true calling, make sure you: 1️⃣ Have enough savings/runway. 2️⃣ Accept potential lifestyle changes. 3️⃣ Test the waters on a smaller scale. 4️⃣ Map out realistic milestones. 5️⃣ Create a support network. LOVE YOU GOOD LUCK 💙🌀👏🏻🥰 #womeninbusiness #mbastudent #womenintech #businessschool #mbalife #womenempowerment #finance #womeninstem

Why was the first thing I heard when I woke up today? 😮‍💨 I really need to stop scrolling in bed bc it puts me in a bad mood fr. It’s not only from your mom but also grandma too apparently. video from @sierraalexandraa on tiktok

Yeah, our new startup adventures might fail, but the fear of failure doesn’t scare me. You know what’s haunting? the idea that I might regret not doing this one day. I don’t wanna wake up when I’m 65 and wonder what if? what if I didn’t take opportunity to start a podcast with my sister? What if I didn’t create that Matcha brand With my sister? it feels like a prime moment right now to experiment and try something new even if it’s for just a short period of time- I hope it works out and if it doesn’t, I will have to find another way to pay the bills but for now I’m locked tf in and doing what I love every single day and that is absolutely worth it for me.

We spoke with John Redgrave: he sold his companies to Apple and Discord. In order to be a good entrepreneur so much of your day-to-day is storytelling, persuading, motivating, and selling. John gave great advice for anyone else who is trying to improve their public speaking or presentation presence ❤️ #womeninbusiness #mbastudent #mbastudents #womenintech #businessschool #student #womenempowerment #finance

Starting a matcha brand with my sister has been a crash course in reshaping my money mindset. @thrivent has inspired us to think differently about financial planning, setting clear goals, and finding ways to streamline savings to set ourselves up for success. Here’s to making 2025 a year of simplicity and focusing on what truly matters. #ad #Thrivent #personalfinance

Of course it depends on the person that you are dating and how they respond to conflict, but in general, it feels much more like an open conversation. Dating in your early 20s versus late 20s and 30s is a whole new ball game! I’m actually really loving this stage of my life and feeling quite pleasantly surprised by it.
