Geoff Schneider Headlines Ivy Family Office and Private Investors NYC Forum
New York, NY (PRWEB) March 09, 2015 -- The Ivy Family Office Network hosted its February 2015 Family Office and Private Investors Outlook Forum in New York, NY on February 10th. Geoff Schneider, Managing Director & Founder of Cava capital, led a panel discussion on “Family Office Direct vs. Indirect Private Equity Investing.”
Schneider says, “The Venture and Growth Capital Industry is having its biggest renaissance since the late 90’s. The industry was overfunded coming out of the dot com bust and realized well below market returns for a while. Since then, the market has been transformed by existing firms with large funds, new entrants, creative models, technology that has made deals more accessible and even legislation that has made crowd sourcing available to some."
He added, "A big trend revolves around family offices desire to diversify in direct deal funding. This stems from companies staying private longer and realizing most of their gains while private not public. However, manyfamily offices are not designed to handle the tasks of managing private equity style investing."
Finally, "The most successful opportunities are those which leverage existing relationships with a broad network of entrepreneurs and investors. They bring the best opportunities and, at times, also become the owner/operators of these opportunities."
Other speakers on the panel included Steven G. Chrust of Centripetal Capital, Harry Edelson of Edelson Technology Partners & Corey B. Davis of SenaHill Partners, LP.
