Hands-on Approach in Investment Strategies
The distinguishing factor between traditional private equity and the investment strategy discussed is the hands-on approach. While private equity typically focuses on financing and high-level improvements, this strategy involves rewriting software, redesigning IT architecture, enhancing user experience and interface, adding/removing features, revising marketing and monetization. The strategy involves a team of mostly software engineers, AI researchers, data analysts, data scientists, and a product manager, making it more of a product and technology company. This approach is described as a hybrid between private equity and a technology company, with parallels drawn to a blend of private equity and Google's innovation culture.
