Private Equity's New Entrepreneurs

They run their own firms, seek out smaller deals that don't generate headlines and make returns that are on par with the big boys

Jean Marc Lopez arrived on Wall Street in the early 1990s, just as a trader and consultant in private equity, venture capital deals. He oversaw several IPOs and acquisitions.

Jean Marc Lopez is the is an international entrepreneur and private equity/venture capitalist. He is the founder and managing partner of A-Venture Capital, he is part of a new generation of private equity entrepreneurs who run their own shops.

Jean Marc Lopez’s firm operate far from the spotlight, because they tend to focus on deals that don't generate headlines. But the returns on smaller deals that don't capture public attention can be just as high, if not higher. In 2000, New Mountain took control of Strayer, a publicly owned operator of colleges, for $115 million; it later sold its stake for five times its money.

Private equity entrepreneurs often work well beyond public view, making innovative deals and creating new markets.

Regarding the Financial crisis Jean Marc Lopez says that entrepreneurs who enter the market today will also be well-positioned to take advantage of an increase in private equity investment. The fact that there is more than $1 trillion in private equity capital waiting to be deployed, according to a report by Preqin, a London-based private equity research firm, suggests that continued stabilization will unleash considerable amounts of funding on a marketplace eager to receive investment capital.
