Family Capital, Private Equity & Building Enduring Businesses with Paul Carbone + Happy Hour

Join the Chicago Booth Private Equity Club and Private and Family Business Group for a conversation with Paul Carbone, Founder of Pritzker Alternative Strategies and Co-Founder of Pritzker Private Capital, on the role of family capital in private equity, business building, and long-term value creation.

Paul will share his perspective on how family-backed investment platforms differ from traditional private equity models, what it takes to build durable businesses over multiple market cycles, and how investors can partner effectively with founders, families, and management teams. The discussion will also explore career lessons from Paul’s experience investing across sectors and working with closely held and family-owned companies.
