At 33, Jeffery is a Senior Consultant for Berkshire Consulting, a Crypto based equity investment firm. In this interview with Zshare Jeffery will be discussing equity ventures at Berkshire Consulting.
Who is Berkshire Consulting?
Berkshire Consulting is a structured crypto investment fund. We invest our capital into high growth, catalyst-driven opportunities across a variety of different sectors.
Tell us more about the late-stage pre-IPO opportunities, what do you look out for in businesses at this stage and what specific services do you offer?
Berkshire consulting carters to the worldwide crypto community, and operates a comprehensive online investment and digital assets management presence. As a fintech company, Berkshire believes it brings a unique level of operational experience to the needs the financial community.
How big is the equity investments market, and which trends of businesses are investors more interested in this 2022?
The number is pretty huge, I think the equity capital markets are probably nearing 100 Trillion dollars worldwide. 2022 will be an interesting year, we’ve already seen a lot of investors losing their appetite for overvalued speculative growth stories. I believe the trend will be towards real growth in revenue and bottom-line profitability.
How involved are you in the businesses you invest in and how do you manage the risks associated with equity long/short investments?
In our effort to create a safe and sustainable system where returns on invested assets are guaranteed, we have chosen to thread carefully down the slippery slopes of diversification of assets. Every so often we find an investment that we might also be of some strategic value to as well as growth capital. Those companies we tend to form a more intimate relationship with.
Our strategy with Berkshire to mitigate risk is to simply invest in things we know and understand. If we cant understand the road to the opportunity’s success, we will often pass, even if others are jumping at the same opportunities.
What are the major problems you face when investing in businesses, how do you mitigate these problems?
Since most of the opportunities Berkshire has invested in are private at the time of the investment, the biggest problem is always transparency.
What major challenges do businesses looking for equity investments face, what is your advice for anyone looking for equity investment?
The biggest hurdle has to be getting in front of the right investors. There are investors out there for every opportunity. If you have a business worth investing in, the biggest struggle will be gaining the right audience.
As a Crypto based investment firm, you must have some competitors coming from a global investment hub, what competitive advantage do you have over other investors?
Surprisingly at this level, we often co-invest with groups of other like-minded investors. Often when a bank is shopping around a deal, we are not the only investor on the cap table.
I think what keeps opportunities flowing is our relationships. We have strong relationships with the management we invest with as well as the banks and firms that often bring these investments to us.
Any success stories to share with us from your previous investments and any exciting new ventures to share with us?
We don’t often disclose our portfolio publicly, but we are very excited for a handful of investments that we expect to have successful public exits sometime in 2022.
