Last week I met with Terry Garnett, one-half of one of the most dynamic duos in the Silicon Valley investment community, Garnett & Helfrich Capital. Mr Garnett and his partner David Helfrich have crafted some very interesting buy outs and are already making plans to raise a second fund.


Their current fund of $350m has done some very interesting deals but this form of investing is not for the feint of heart, it requires an astute understanding of markets and a very sharp eye for details of financing and spinning out buy outs from some of the largest tech companies in the world.


Tomorrow on Thoughtleader Thursday, you'll hear about Mr Garnett's philosophy on investing, and you'll find out why his firm is expanding and moving out of the VC gulag of Sandhill Road, to the spacious terrain of Hillsdale on the Peninsula, and closer to San Francisco.
