LISTEN: Top of the ops: Operational utopia

by Jon Whiteaker 2 February 2024

What if you were to found a private equity firm that entirely outsourced the investment function and focused solely on operations? Impossible dream or the future direction of the market?

The Drawdown speaks to Stephen Branagan of Pantheon Ventures, who argues that it might not be such a crazy concept as it first appears.
