  15. Entrepreneurship Kickoff October 2007

  16. Overview of PEEK • Organization Goal: Educating members about private equity and entrepreneurship, strengthening relationships with alumni, and facilitating career and networking opportunities • Who should participate in PEEK events? • All students interested in pursuing a role in private equity or entrepreneurship, whether directly after graduating from Kellogg or later in their careers • Students pursuing careers in industries in which they would be working with entrepreneurs or private equity professionals, such as investment banking, consulting or general management

  17. What is Private Equity? • General Definition: Equity capital invested in private companies • Who is investing? • Private equity firms invest capital on behalf of their limited partners • For simplicity purposes, we divide private equity firms into two general categories: • Venture Capital: Firms making investments in companies in their early stage of operation • Buyout: Firms making investments in companies in their later stages of operation. These firms usually recapitalize acquired company with some level of debt after transaction.

  18. Club Organization • PEEK events will be targeted/marketed to one of three interests: • Buyouts • Venture Capital • Entrepreneurship • Why does PEEK cover all three? • Line is blurry between Buyout and Venture Capital investing. Students can learn investing principals in one area that might apply to other; having a club that oversees both encourages such insight • Individuals working in Buyouts and Venture Capital will often work closely with entrepreneurs, and vice versa. Having a club that oversees all three areas provides greater opportunity for interaction during business school • Students can, and are encouraged to, attend any PEEK event
