M10-S6 - Growth Capital in Emerging Markets
Objectives: Understanding the rationale and structure of growth capital deals, in particular in emerging markets such as Colombia. The challenges and opportunities of private equity in Latin America. What kind of deals are you likely to find in those environments? What are the main issues you have to deal with? Does it make sense in today’s financial environment? Preparation Questions: 1. Why would you want to acquire OndadeMar? Draw a list of the pros and cons of the company as a buyout / growth capital deal. 2. What would you do with the company if you were to acquire it? In other words, what would be your gameplan to create value with it? 3. How would you deal with Queipo, the founding designer? 4. How would you value such a company? Focus on methodology and issues to be tackled more than on the actual number.
