Private Equity Firm formation

[Marques J.]

Question:

Has anyone looked into starting or has started a private equity firm of their own?  Dream big!!

A private equity firm that stabilizes and streamlines investments nation wide is my dream. To me the ultimate goal is to ethically take ownership percentage of businesses and streamline operations making them more profitable and then selling, leaving everything and everyone in a better place then before I got involved. This can be done with manufacturing business, service business, hotels, apartment complexes, new developments, MHP, storage, ect... 

I would love to chat with anyone experienced who has explored this in any fashion or is doing it now.
