I'm not a surf fan, but he does raise money and not some back office schlep. Why do you think he holds his parties? The niche edge funds he raises for sell themselves, just need to know people with money who actually like you or respect you even a little bit.
Pretty weak when a man enjoys watching two women instead of taking one or both for himself. You guys aren't that old, are you?
I obviously have no idea what you earn. I just know that if I were introducing money to funds - I would request a finders fee and a percentage of the performance fee. if the fund then went up 50%. I would be making some damn good money.
Why don't you try looking what percentages money raisers get, cause you obviously have many illusions about it.
I raise money for DPPs, deal only with individuals with a min. Net Worth of 5 million and up. Raising money is a great game, fun, and you can make shit load of money.
You can make a shitload of money selling lemon cars also, lol. If you know wealthy individuals or have a certain networking edge, raising money for funds is one of the better options, IMO, to take advantage of it. But if you don't have that edge or have an ability to develop it, I would not even bother getting into it. Not in today's times.
