Two hundred and fifty years ago today, the American colonies executed the boldest capital restructuring in history. 🗽💥   No CFO. No diligence. Just conviction, conflict, and a very strong opinion about taxation.   Two and a half centuries later, American private capital is an approximately $8 trillion asset class, and the US private equity sector directly employs 13.3 million people. That is more people than any single corporation on the continent can claim.   We’ve put together a short timeline of how America learned to lever up. 📈   From the Continental Congress and the vote for independence, to Morgan’s railroad consolidation era, to Blackstone filing for its IPO in 2007, to today’s talent gap, the story of US private equity is really a story of scale, speed and reinvention.   Happy 250th. 🚀 #PrivateEquity #USPE #Finatal
