#119 Amateur Golf Society: Venture Capital vs. Private Equity

The Pitch

Dan Hershberg loves golf. So much so that he founded the Amateur Golf Society – a PGA-style tour that any golfer can participate in. The investors think his flexible tournament model is a hole in one. But things get complicated when they discover a majority of the company is owned by a private equity firm, not the founder. Will the VCs and the PEs come together for the love of golf? Or will this deal land in the bunker.

Today’s investors are Beck Bamberger, Al Bsharah, Jillian Manus, and Howie Diamond.
