Seizing the Generational Shift: Entrepreneurs and the $7 Trillion Opportunity
There are over $7 Trillion worth of businesses that are owned by Baby Boomers, and the vast majority will need to sell their companies in the next 5 to 10 years. This is a generational opportunity for entrepreneurs who are looking to lead enduringly profitable businesses into the future. These businesses are often too small for traditional private equity funds, and too large for individuals. This is the sweet spot where Cameo Point Capital loves to participate.
