Devin sits down with Sameer Shamsi, Co-Head of Houlihan Lokey's GP Led Secondaries group. We cover everything you want to know about continuation vehicles, but were afraid to ask (or too dumb to ask?). What is the difference between LP-led and GP-led? How should GPs talk to their LPs about it? What assets are best suited for CVs? How does company management get treated in a CV? Plus so much more you didn't even pay for.

The following article of the Finance & Fintech industry is: “Strategies for PE, VC Firms to Exit Investments in Mexico” by César Alejandro Núñez, Director Latin America, Houlihan Lokey Financial Advisors, Inc.

Der Start in das LBO-Jahr 2024 war äußerst verhalten – doch mit einem kräftigen Endspurt wurde das Vorjahr sogar noch übertroffen. Welche Treiber waren am Werk, und was dürfen wir für 2025 erwarten?

Vous vous souvenez de ces hésitations, celles qui vous tiraillent entre l'esprit entrepreneurial et la finance ? Entre la liberté mentale et la liberté financière ? Et vous rappelez-vous aussi de ce profil que l'on voit sur les réseaux sociaux, qui, après cinq ans en investment banking, annonce fièrement avoir tout quitté pour se lancer dans l'aventure entrepreneuriale ?Pour être franc, je ne sais pas si Antoine était exactement cette personne, ni ce qu'il serait devenu autrement; mais il n'y a pas eu de « si ». Antoine n'a pas renoncé, il a su concilier les deux mondes. En 1992, il fonde Triago, entreprise qu'il dirigera avec passion pendant plus de 30 ans avant de la céder à Houlihan Lokey en 2024.Toujours en avance sur son temps, il ne s'est jamais arrêté et se consacre aujourd'hui à deux nouveaux projets audacieux : Mantra, qui bouscule le marché primaire, et Palico, qui redéfinit le marché secondaire. En écoutant ce podcast, vous plongerez dans le parcours exceptionnel d'un homme rare, tout en enrichissant vos connaissances sur le marché secondaire – un secteur qui, selon moi, n'en est qu'à ses débuts.Alors, si vous voulez entendre l'histoire d'un homme remarquable et approfondir vos connaissances sur le marché de demain, écoutez cet épisode.Merci Antoine;Voix de la FinanceHébergé par Ausha.

En el vídeo de hoy el Profesor Ángel Rosa analiza un artículo del Centro de Periodismo Investigativo que asegura el secretario de la gobernación de Puerto Rico, Francisco Domenech, no dijo la verdad al negar su vinculación como cabildero con bonistas de la Autoridad de de Energía Eléctrica (AEE). El reportaje señala que tanto Domenech como la firma contratada recientemente por el gobierno, Houlihan Lokey, en el pasado tuvieron vínculos con acreedores activos de la AEE. Domenech ha negado que esto constituya un conflicto de interés o que sea una violación a las leyes de ética. ¿Será por esto que la Junta de Control Fiscal no les dio participación en la confección del plan fiscal de la entidad pública? ¡No se lo pierda! Con su estilo único el Profesor desmenuza el entramado de esta pugna que involucra directamente al principal asesor de la gobernadora Jenniffer González.

Matt Venturi, Founder and CEO of ClearingBid, Inc., is changing that. With decades of Wall Street experience, he saw firsthand how outdated systems and entrenched practices created barriers for smaller investors. Now, he's pioneering a platform that levels the playing field, allowing everyone to participate in IPOs through their brokers, breaking down long-standing financial barriers."What we're really doing is allowing everybody to come in at that IPO price and be able to have their order seen and recognized," Matt explained. Traditionally, Wall Street has prioritized its biggest institutional clients, giving them first access to newly issued stock at a discounted price, while retail investors are left to buy shares in the secondary market at inflated prices. ClearingBid is disrupting this system by introducing transparency, connectivity, and inclusion—core values that drive the company's mission.For companies going public, ClearingBid offers a revolutionary approach to capital raising. Rather than relying solely on institutional investors, companies can now cast a wider net, tapping into affinity investor groups and everyday market participants. This shift not only democratizes access but also builds a more engaged and loyal shareholder base. Matt pointed to Reddit's IPO as a cautionary tale: "Only 7% of that offering ended up going to Reddit users—93% went to the big institutions. Those who wanted in on the IPO were left buying shares later at higher prices."Beyond its innovation in IPOs, ClearingBid is proving the power of regulated investment crowdfunding. The company raised $5 million from 3,900 investors in a campaign that far exceeded expectations. "At first, I wasn't sure it was the right approach for us, but it turned out to be an incredibly positive experience," Matt shared. "Our investors aren't just backers—they're evangelists. They believe in our mission and help us spread the word."With the success of its crowdfunding campaign and its game-changing IPO platform, ClearingBid is poised to shake up Wall Street. By opening access to IPOs for all investors, Matt Venturi isn't just leading a company—he's leading a movement.tl;dr:* Matt Venturi is revolutionizing the IPO market by making it accessible to retail investors through ClearingBid.* Traditional IPOs favor institutional investors, but ClearingBid aims to create a more inclusive and transparent system.* Matt raised $5 million via regulated investment crowdfunding, demonstrating the power of affinity investors.* His superpower, passion and conviction, fuels his ability to challenge industry norms and drive meaningful change.* Entrepreneurs can learn from Matt's success by mastering fundamentals, rallying support, and leading with enthusiasm.How to Develop Passion and Conviction As a SuperpowerMatt Venturi's superpower is passion and conviction. Throughout his career, from Wall Street to entrepreneurship, he has harnessed these qualities to push forward transformative change in the financial industry. "You have to be passionate about what you do," Matt said. "When you're speaking to something that you truly believe in, that conviction gives you the confidence to go toe-to-toe with the best in the industry."One of the most compelling stories that illustrates Matt's passion occurred as he worked to launch ClearingBid. Many skeptics doubted whether he could challenge Wall Street's entrenched system of IPO allocations, questioning if a more inclusive approach could truly work. But instead of backing down, he leaned into his conviction, tirelessly advocating for a system that allows retail investors to participate in IPOs at the same terms as institutional players. His relentless drive led to a $5 million crowdfunding raise and the launch of a platform poised to redefine capital markets.For those looking to develop passion and conviction as strengths, Matt offers key insights:* Master the Fundamentals – A strong foundation in your field provides the confidence to take bold steps.* Surround Yourself with Supporters – Find a team and a community that believes in your mission.* Be a Cheerleader – Lead with enthusiasm, especially in tough times.* Welcome Skepticism – Use criticism as fuel to refine and strengthen your approach.* Celebrate Wins, Learn from Setbacks – Resilience is essential for maintaining conviction over the long haul.By following Matt Venturi's example and advice, you can make passion and conviction a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses. You do you!Guest ProfileMatt Venturi (he/him):Founder & CEO, ClearingBid, Inc.About ClearingBid, Inc.: ClearingBid is the world's first and only IPO network.

Host Rich DiPaolo sits down with Alexandra Feldman, vice president, and Kenny Kraft, managing director, at Houlihan Lokey. In this episode, we delve into the U.S. carwash industry's latest trends, challenges and opportunities. Our conversation begins by exploring the remarkable resilience of the carwash industry. Feldman and Kraft provide insight into the key factors that have enabled this sector to weather economic fluctuations and external pressures, demonstrating its staying power. We then shift to the consolidation trends sweeping the industry over the past seven years. Feldman and Kraft discuss the driving forces behind recent M&A activity and share their projections for how these trends will evolve, touching on the strategic interests behind many acquisitions. As regulatory pressures mount, carwash operators are navigating new compliance challenges but are there opportunities for operators when it comes to regulations? Our guests outline the regulatory landscape, explaining how specific policies may shape operational practices in the years to come. Addressing the headwinds that could impact growth, Feldman and Kraft highlight the risks and challenges facing the industry over the next decade, from economic uncertainties to market shifts. The conversation wraps up with a look at the investment and financing landscape, where Feldman and Kraft shed light on why this resilient sector continues to attract investors and how operators might secure opportunities in this climate. Our guests also share invaluable advice for carwash operators considering scaling or exiting their businesses in light of current market dynamics.

What are we to make of the weird year in restaurants? This week's episode of the Restaurant Business podcast A Deeper Dive features Kenny Kraft, a managing director with Houlihan Lokey, and Tyler Martinez, a vice president with the investment firm. The three of us talk about the state of the restaurant industry, and there's a lot to talk about. This year has been an odd one.  Consumers have cut back on dining out at fast-food chains and casual dining concepts but appear to be spending more at restaurants overall. Some chains are filing for bankruptcy and others like Wingstop are generating record high sales.  And many concepts are grabbing share, such as Chili's, Popeyes and Domino's. We talk about what's driving these share gains and these differences. We talk extensively about consumers' perception of value, and how brands can get on the right side of consumer perception of quality.  We also talk a bit about the eatertainment sector and what's driving challenges there this year.  We're talking about the state of the restaurant industry on A Deeper Dive so please check it out.

In Q2 ist der LBO-Markt wieder angesprungen. Aber was waren die Treiber, und ist das ein Vorbote für ein starkes zweites Halbjahr? Wir diskutieren den brandneuen MidCap-Monitor von Houlihan Lokey mit einer der renommiertesten LBO-Bankerinnen im Markt.

Jingjing Zhong, CEO & Cofounder of Superbench, and Jeremy Au talked about three main themes: 1. UC Berkeley to Investment Banking: Jingjing reflected on her time at UC Berkeley where the competitive environment introduced her to the high-stakes world of investment banking. She shared her initial motivation for joining Houlihan Lokey, which was to make money (influenced by societal expectations from her upbringing in China). Her experience in the financial sector led to a significant reevaluation of her definition of success and steered her away from banking despite its financial allure. 2. General Manager Firefighting: Jingjing's entrance to high-growth startup Helpling and eventual promotion to General Manager brought immediate challenges of operational management without initial support (a sharp contrast with the structured world of finance). She navigated intense periods of firefighting and strategic planning and learned to balance immediate problem-solving with long-term strategic thinking. Her experiences emphasized the importance of adapting to market and consumer trends and the transformative impact of effective coaching on her leadership skills. 3. Superbench Services AI Founder: Jingjing leveraged her experiences to cofound Superbench, an AI-driven platform aimed at optimizing operations for home service businesses. She detailed the transition from manual operations to AI-enhanced processes, which significantly improved sales conversions and operational efficiency. She discusses the nuanced applications of AI, where it complements human effort rather than replacing it, along with the practical benefits and challenges of integrating advanced technologies in traditional SME clients. Jeremy and Jingjing also talked about Jingjing's cultural adjustments when she moved from USA to Singapore, the critical role of mentorship, and the role of data in strategic decision-making within service businesses.
