IPEG Event on Feb 28th
The International Private Enterprise Group [beta website here], which I founded, has its next event at 6:15 pm on Feb 28th, Tuesday. IPEG is hosting Alan Patricof [biography], the co-founder of APAX Partners and one the pioneers of the Venture Capital industry. Mr Patricof will be speaking about the role of private equity and venture capital in promoting economic development. This is a very exciting subject given that private capital flows into emerging markets are already 5-6 times larger than conventional develoment aid, though there's been very little serious attention paid to it. So, if any of you are seriously interested in the subject, please shoot me a note or leave a comment and I'll send you an invite.
