Do I need an MBA to join?

While a large number of our members come from dedicated programs at Harvard Business School, Stanford GSB, Chicago Booth, and other top programs, searching is no longer reserved for the elite. With the current abundance of dry powder in private equity, and an increasing number of business owners reaching retirement age, good deals rarely go unfunded.

I have to legal structure, the people, the software, the knowledge - but I need to attract the seed money. We run 2 very sophisticated proprietary black boxes that have been fed with our Algos focused on the FX market.

Thanks Audra. Nuances matter and I appreciate the clarification. Also, totally agree on the minimum AUM required to run the strat. I was thinking that and don't know why I said trading volumes instead. Probably should just hold off on my comments at 4:00am when still trying to power through a deal :-)

More than ever John I have just been so swamped with work that I seldom find time to visit searchfunder.com . I think right now is the time to follow up.
