Face the Nation interviewed former Secretary of State Condi Rice this past weekend. I wondered if she had any private equity underwriter (PEU) ties.
In 2012 WaPo questioned if Rice would be the new face of venture capital after her deal with Khosla Ventures. Private Equity News reported on that same development. Vinod Khosla is the billionaire who refuses to allow access to a public beach.
In 2016 Rice struck a deal with RWC Partners. RWC rebranded to Redwheel in 2022.
Politicians Red and Blue love PEU and increasingly, more are one.
