Curato CEO Hans Olav Almaas explains why his company chose private equity ownership

 

- What should you consider before choosing private equity investors as owners?

 

Far too many entrepreneurs are ensnared in their own limited success and experience shows that things can go wrong if they do not have sufficient market knowledge. It is important to have someone with industry knowledge on your team. By choosing a private equity fund as an owner, the company can easily access to the knowledge and expertise it needs.

 

- What is your best advice to companies who are considering private equity investors as owners?

 

Be honest with yourself and do not believe that you know everything. You can never have enough industry knowledge and it is therefore very positive to have a third party with this knowledge at hand.
