Is Micro Private Equity a Passive Investment?

With private equity, you're not running a startup. You're not trying to build something from scratch. There's enough there, there, organizationally that someone with your experience can come in and help to optimize and actually add value. But the money won't be yours, you will have a small minority stake and by default, you end up becoming a glorified employee because you get to play with much bigger numbers. Commercially, you have to stay with bigger upside, but it's not your adventure anymore.
