The ABCs of Growth Equity Investing
From A to Z, this playful alphabet book turns growth equity investing into a story kids can enjoy and grown-ups will instantly recognize.
Each letter introduces a core concept of the growth equity world, from Annual Recurring Revenue and Board Meetings to Exit Multiples and Zero-Based Budgets. Along the way, young readers will meet Founders chasing their dreams, LPs writing big checks, and the mysterious J-Curve that tests everyone's patience. With simple language, colorful illustrations, and witty nods to the realities of deal flow, due diligence, and the eternal pursuit of Rule of 40, it is a fast, fun read that doubles as a surprisingly sharp primer on how growth investing actually works.
Whether you are explaining to your kids what you do all day or gifting it to a colleague who lives and breathes IRR, KPIs, and spreadsheets, this is an ABCs book with just enough truth to make you laugh — and just enough EBITDA to make you cry.
Perfect for growth equity investors, venture capitalists, portfolio company operators, and anyone who has ever tried to explain hurdle rates at a dinner party.
