This is a great question. I am in the process of starting my own PE fund Global Frontier Capital that focuses on frontier markets in LATAM. It is a tough question, though, I break it up more on the line of Operating Partners and Financing Partners to look at both making the transaction the most adventitious as possible, but then also the operational capability to build organic, margin, and acquisition growth as quickly as possible.

Good feedback from Robert. I've gained a lot more practical knowledge from working with smaller, more hands-on sponsors than the mega funds.
