Investing in Private Equity.

So I’ve got a question on how some of this private equity pay out works. Let’s say you go to work for a company that is majority owned by a PE firm and you get shares valued at $1.00 and the company is doing around 30 mil in revenue. You also buy in with additional investment money so total shares are 500k at $1.00 per.
I know there’s a shite ton of factors involved but what would the shares be worth if the company was doing 60 mil in year two and 150 mil in year 5? Year 5 would be the year to cash out or reinvest with the PE if they choose to do another 5 years.

Probably B shares and waterfalls are extremely complicated. You’re at the mercy of the PE firm and your CEO’s ability to negotiate. Do you know what percentage of the company your shares make up?

- Do you own common shares or are you part of a mgmt. option pool?
- What type of company?
- What is the current EBITDA?
- Do you know how much leverage is on the business? Current amounts of cash and debt?
Can also connect offline if you don't want to share here. I work in IB and can build you a rough waterfall, but need more data to even get close to a realistic number.

Ultimately, the shares are worth whatever someone will pay for them.
