Fundraising With Bono

What’s it like to raise a private equity fund with a rock star? Kevin Albert is one of the few people who knows the answer. In 2005, the veteran fundraiser, now a partner at Pantheon Ventures, joined Elevation Partners to help the private equity firm raise its debut fund. Among the firm’s founding partners was U2 frontman Bono. In an interview with Privcap, Albert recounts what investor meetings were like with Bono in the room and describes the singer’s impressive people skills.
