About this listen

 Welcome to The GC call, a window into the investment process. On the show you’ll hear from regional investors, entrepreneurs & management, as well as advisors who participate in the overall process. We’ll start off with talking about making the deal happen, the outlook for private and public companies over the next 12-18 months and dig into managing the transaction. We’ll also be looking at how the board and shareholder interactions should work, and discuss the exit process. The GC Call is brought to you from Gulf Capital, the leading alternative investment firm in emerging markets, from North Africa to South-East Asia. We’ve been investing in private companies for nearly two decades and currently have USD$2.5 billion of assets under management.© 2022 Gulf Capital. All Rights Reserved.
