Private equity’s great resignation
Across almost all sectors we’re hearing and reading about employee shortages, largely due to people flooding out of full time work after the pandemic induced lockdowns provided time to reflect and regroup. And private equity and venture capital are not immune. Far from it.
Recent figures from a J.Thelander-Pitchbook survey of more than 760 respondents, released in September, found that 27% of venture capital, corporate venture capital and private equity firms lost a partner or key recruit in 2021.
