Last week, we held another successful event with two great industry professionals from General Capital Group: Linda Gorens-Levey and Pat Bacon. They spent the evening discussing with our students their careers within the industry. They discussed challenges, pivotal perspective shifts, and lessons learned from the experiences.
Lesson 1: When analyzing a deal, achieve a realistic base case scenario. Then analyze potential upside and potential downside and see which way the probability is skewed. Then, depending on your risk tolerance, you will be able to make the deal or leave it.
Lesson 2: Long term deals vs short term deals require an investor to look at different factors and make different assumptions. Using the same lens when looking at these deals will lead you to fall into trouble.
Lesson 3: Know and vet who your partners are. When trouble comes around, its important to know that your partners will stay with you through the thick of it, instead of packing their bags and leaving you to dry.
Big thank you to Linda Gorens-Levey CPA CFA and Patrick Bacon for the insight you provided our members. We had a great time actively listening and asking questions. We hope you enjoyed our company as well!!!
