Speakers at the Long Angle retreat

"The investment program at the inaugural Long Angle Retreat exceeded expectations,” said Long Angle Managing Director Matt Shechtman.  “Attracting principals from some of the world's top managers, like Blue Owl and Golub Capital, gave almost 200 Long Angle members the ability to interact directly with the teams that put their investment dollars to work, while also educating members across private equity, venture capital, secondaries, real estate, and search funds. Our sponsor partners were equally impressed with the depth of Long Angle member experience and sophistication and are looking forward to joining again in 2025!"
