From the outset, The Private Equiteer was designed to be a thoughtful journal about the inner workings of an otherwise clandestine industry. It’s much bigger than me though, so I’d like to steer it back on course by opening it up to others.

I’m looking for other private equiteers to join “The Private Equiteer” to help continue the legacy and benefit from the spoils.

What’s in it for the selected person/people?

• You get a voice in the industry
• You get a chance to articulate your ideas
• You can get industry exposure (named and/or anonymous writers)
• You get contacts from being one of few private equity thought-leaders
• You get a chance to develop your writing and problem solving skills

What’s in it for me?

• I get to continue what I started and work with other energetic people

What’s involved?

• Writing regular posts (say once a week or more) on private equity topics

What are the prerequisites?

• You absolutely must be someone that gets things done; you know who you are; you’re one of those people that just “takes care of business”
• You must have a good command of written English
• You must be thoughtful; someone who thinks about the world and private equity
• You must have a visceral interest in private equity, but you don’t have to be a GP

What’s the process?

Write a guest post for The Private Equiteer:

• not too long, just the average size, say 250-500 words
• it doesn’t have to be groundbreaking, just something I haven’t covered already
• it can be on anything PE-related (doesn’t have to be GP related)
• let me know if you want your name published
• send it to (blog [at] theprivateequiteer [dot] com)

I may publish your post and will then get back to you as soon as possible

What are the conditions?

• Your writing is licensed to The Private Equiteer; you can publish it elsewhere, you can even sell it as your own, but TPE may always display it
• Your writing may be edited for style, grammar, etc.
• This is purely voluntary at this stage; there’s no revenue share or royalty payments; though I’m open to partnerships and propositions with the right person

So, why would you even bother?

It’s not easy, I’ll admit that now. But it’s not hard either. It just requires some discipline, commitment and enthusiasm. The result is being part of something that people enjoy and value. And more than that, it’s an opportunity in one of the most revered industries in the modern world. This opportunity could be to expand the subject matter, the reader-base, the writer-base, the commercial arranges, or just to grow as a private equiteer.
