Earlier this month, we welcomed over 60 guests in our New York office to join us for a discussion on the evolution of the GP stakes landscape. Our partner William Orum represented Capricorn Investment Group amongst an esteemed panel of industry experts that shared perspectives from three target investment sizes: (1) seed / small cap deals, (2) growth / lower middle market firms, and (3) established / large cap managers. Our guests discussed the critical lessons they've learned over the lives of their funds, the longevity of operating in a niche corner of the market versus a generalist approach, and the future of the space. Thank you to Pamela Pavkov (TPG), Mark O’Sullivan (Blue Owl Capital), and Michael Sidgmore (Alt Goes Mainstream) for joining us.

A big step forward for aviation today… "The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is ready for powered lift, which will be the first completely new category of civil aircraft since helicopters were introduced in the 1940s". "The agency today issued a?final rule?for the qualifications and training that instructors and pilots must have to fly aircraft in this “powered-lift” category, which have characteristics of both airplanes and helicopters. The rule also addresses their operational requirements, including minimum safe altitudes and required visibility. The rule is the final piece in the puzzle for safely introducing these aircraft in the near term". “The FAA will continue to prioritize the safety of our system as we work to seamlessly integrate innovative technology and operations. This final rule provides the necessary framework to allow powered lift aircraft to safely operate in our airspace,”?said FAA Administrator Mike Whitaker.?“Powered lift aircraft are the first new category of aircraft in nearly 80 years and this historic rule will pave the way for accommodating wide-scale Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) operations in the future.”? Congratulations on this milestone!
