Middle Market Deals and how to buy, sell and raise capital from $5 to $500 million

This evening I had the opportunity to make an informal presentation to the New Venture Finance Class for MBAs at the University of Utah.

The class asked a lot of great questions, making the session quite pleasant.  The students are an impressive group of individuals with a real track record of success. 

Interestingly, one of my clients was in the class.  I learned from him in advance that he would be in the class.  It created an interesting dynamic; frankly I think I felt as a result that I had to be "on my game."  The class probably benefited from my effort to provide more thoughtful insights.

The course instructor, Ken Krull, is a good friend and is a principal at newly formed Mercato Partners.
