Adam Coffey is the real deal.

What I loved about this book as how simply Adam breaks down what seems like such a complex strategy. Having read and listened to this playbook I now feel equipes to have high level conversations with others in or seeking to enter this space. This is for anyone who’s looking to grow, scale and or operate their businesses with more efficiency

Good overview of partnering with PE

I had a decent knowledge of PE from a fund point of view. This book added the perspective of the entrepreneur that sells to PE or the corporate execute that moves to work in a PE owned company.

Extremely Informative and Engaging!! It’s worth it!!

Wow I really like this content and reader! I’ve learned a lot about private equity backed companies, why to sale them, why to be apart of upper management, and also, what mindset to have when as apart of the upper management team! I have hopes of getting involved in private equity and this book has generated more hopes!

Thanks Adam Coffee for sharing your experiences!

Great PE strategy inside this book!

Adam offers principle information about private equity and strategic insight on how to thrive in the industry. His info on selling a company multiple times for 7-8 figures was probably the most brilliant strategy I’d heard to date. Great book! I highly recommend.
