Really enjoyed this in-depth conversation on Zoscale's Africa PE journey. From the questions it's clear that Ziad has an excellent understanding and experience on the nuances of what is required to establish/operate a PE firm in Emerging Markets. Jacop's responses are filled with useful nuggets and detail that any first time (and even seasoned) managing partner will benefit from across a large range of topics from fund formation to operations to LP interactions; as someone who has worked in this space, I really appreciate the candor and advice. Thank you for what you are doing to draw attention to Africa Private Equity.
