The Satellite

Dear Valued Member of the Moonfare Network,

“Focus on what you can control,” advised Henry Kravis when Steffen Pauls, Moonfare’s founder and CEO, asked the private equity trailblazer about investing in downturns.

Co-founder and co-executive chairman of the storied investment firm KKR was the guest of last week’s Deal Talk, Moonfare’s fireside chats with leading dealmakers.

In a wide-ranging interview, Kravis walked us through one of his favourite deals, talked about the power of curiosity and shared his views on investing in the current economic climate. Some of his thoughts we found particularly insightful include:

  • There’s no reason that individuals shouldn’t have the same access to private markets as institutions do.
  • I will not tolerate when someone wants to change the deal after we have shaken hands. To me, you have a handshake, it’s done.
  • You can be the greatest negotiator, but if people you do business with don’t trust or like you, the rest doesn’t matter at all.

You can enjoy the full recording through the link below. We’d also be happy to hear your thoughts on the topics that Mr. Kravis addressed. You can do that by simply replying to this email.  

See you again next month!
