WOW! Loved week 4 - Capital Raising. I missed out on the live and just caught up on the recording. LOVED the content here! So many boxes checked for questions I had, and clear concise information! Thanks team! 😁
Huge shoutout to Carly Grundmann, Karolyn Briley, and Christy Schnurle for an incredible session in the Fund of Funds course! These ladies are powerhouses when it comes to breaking down complex topics and making them actionable.
It's 3am in Nashville and I woke an hour ago with FoF swirling in my brain. I'm starting the replay to integrate the information to memory. Just want to say thank you! I wasn't sure if this would be a good fit for me when we embarked but after our session tonight, I could visualize being very successful at this!
