Meet the Man Who Invested in Over 900 Private Companies!
In my part I interview with George Siguler we learned that George was a Founder of the Harvard Management Company in the 1970s, and initiated and managed its venture capital, buyout and hedge fund activity. In other words he’s instrumental in creating the endowment model of investing as we know it today.
In this part II we turn our attention to George Siguler as a Founding Partner and the Executive Chairman of Siguler Guff (among the world’s most successful alternative investment management firms) and George’s family office.
