In the seventh episode of the podcast, we chat with private equity veteran Larry Lavine. Larry completed his undergraduate degree at Northeastern before becoming a Baker Scholar at Harvard Business School. Then, he began his career in investment banking in the seventies. He climbed the ranks and eventually became a Senior Managing Director at Ripplewood Holdings, an interesting and reclusive $10 billion private equity fund.
After a series of episodes on tech founders and VCs, Larry is at the other end of the spectrum as a quintessential Wall Street financier. He is also a personal friend and mentor to Alfston and Cooper, and we've been looking forward to recording his famous anecdotes on the Optionality Game.
Please enjoy our conversation and let us know about any questions, comments, or suggestions!
