  • Private Equity
    PRIVATE EQUITY Viney Sawhney <[email protected]> Introduction – Course Description This course is the study of private equity money invested in companies that are not publicly traded on a stock exchange or invested in as part of buyouts of publicly traded companies. The objective of the course is to provide a comprehensive overview and in-depth understanding of the private equity markets. Private equity finance will be explored from a number of perspectives, beginning with the structure and objectives of private equity funds; followed by the analysis and financing of investment opportunities; and finally crafting strategies for harvesting investments. There has been an increase in both the supply of and demand for private equity. On the supply side, the amount of private equity under management - by partnerships investing in private equity, growth investments, leveraged buyouts, distressed companies, real estate, etc. - has increased dramatically in recent years. On the demand side, an increasing number of individuals and companies are interested in starting and growing their respective businesses. Collectively, small and medium businesses are focused in gaining access to Private Equity and understanding the dynamics of this unique funding source. Course objectives The main objective of the course is to provide students with the necessary theoretical and conceptual tools used in private equity deals. The course provides the intellectual framework used in the private equity process, valuation in private equity settings, creating term sheets, the process of due diligence and deal structuring. Other learning objectives include building an understanding of harvesting through IPO or M&A, public-private partnerships and sovereign wealth funds.

  • Giving Every Child a Place to Belong
    2020 JOURNAL giving every child a place to belong... 2019 Annual Report Enclosed To my JAFCO family, Driving into the JAFCO Children’s Village these past few months, I observed myself having what I thought to be a strange reaction to being in a leadership role during a global pandemic. On a personal level of course, I was devasted by the enormous, unprecedented loss of life and suffering happening in our world, and I found myself thinking about that a lot, especially while I drove to work on roads that were visibly empty. But then each and every day, something very odd happened the moment I swiped my access control card on the call box at the JAFCO Children’s Village entry gate. One would think that being responsible for three sites in Florida and one in Philadelphia, thousands of children and families, including 28 children living on campus, plus worrying about the health and safety of all of our staff and their families, over $1m in cancelled or re-scheduled fundraising events, our inevitable year-end funding deficit, finding enough masks and hand sanitizer and so much more, you would think that I would feel extremely worried, anxious and stressed. But on the contrary, the moment that I took my seat at my desk in my office and looked out of the window with a beautiful view of the Village, I felt an immediate sense of peace and calm and hopefulness. The pandemic was “gone”. I noticed this and privately I will share with you that I was concerned that maybe I wasn’t taking things seriously enough.

  • Silicon Valley London Woodside Capital Partners (WCP)
    Silicon Valley London Woodside Capital Partners (WCP) proudly releases the inaugural healthcare report “State of Digital Health”. In 2016, healthcare cost in the US was $3.3 Trillion – 17.9% of GDP, passing $10,000 per capita mark for the first time ever. According to CMS, by 2026, the figure is projected to grow to $5.7 Trillion – 19.8% of GDP. The answer to curbing and reversing the trend with respect to healthcare costs lies in large part to the movement towards Digital Health, or ‘Health Tech’. The proliferation of devices and applications across the healthcare spectrum has led to a data tsunami – the “what”. Machine Learning, Artificial Intelligence and overall Big Data analytics are leading to real-time actionable insights – the “so what”.
