You cannot become a great manufacturing co without becoming exceptional at physical operations. Technology alone is not enough to win in the space.

The business is not performing as promised. The other Partners and the Investors are all questioning the judgement of the Partner that lead your deal. He is in a bad spot. 75.6K views · 162 likes · 5 reposts · 10 replies 02 Sep 2026 Last night I got a DM from a CEO of a private equity portfolio company. His company recently sold from one PE firm to another and he rolled 100% of his equity - $8 million - into the new deal. They are missing the yr 1 forecast and he’s feeling pressure from the PE firm.

It is almost like somewhere there is a "how to be a banker" manual.
