Having someone invest in the business can be very positive to help it operate at scale.

Equity firms do not invest in businesses to spend money on them as a rule.
Having someone invest in your business is one thing.
Having a hedge fund put their filthy hooks into one is quite another.


Having worked in PE owned companies for the past decade, I have a different perspective. I've personally and professionally benefited from the investment that came with the PE ownership. The companies would not have grown and hired without that investment.
