Early history of private equity
The early history of private equity relates to one of the major periods in the history of private equity and venture capital. Within the broader private equity industry, two distinct sub-industries, leveraged buyouts and venture capital experienced growth along parallel although interrelated tracks.The origins of the modern private equity industry trace back to 1946 with the formation of the first venture capital firms.
