Opinion
Beshore: Traditional PE outbids others via heavy leverage and slashing staff
“And they, by the way, they can pay more because they're loading it up with a tremendous amount of non-recourse debt. They're going to slash and burn the team. They're going to treat people for a short period of time while they own it terribly, right? Well, of …”

Disclosure
Beshore: Adventur.es defaults to accumulating cash until exceptional opportunities arise

Opinion
Beshore: Event marketing is a flawed model due to labor intensity and poor scalability
“So if you look at the event marketing business, it's heavy labor and scalability is really challenging. It's location dependent. And for the most part, it's a, what I call a devalued service.”

Insight
Beshore: Services perceived as easy are poorly compensated despite actual difficulty
