If I get private equity investment, what exit route exists for the investor?

If I get private equity investment, what exit route exists for the investor? If you're not sure what a PEI is, then you probably wouldn't be asking this question. But just in case, make sure you look it up or I'll just confuse you. Now, onward to the answer. No safe exit routes exist for the investor. They're doomed. Just like a publicly traded stock, a PEI is a risk. It is up to the investor to choose wisely, and if your company succeeds, then it's great for the investor. And if not, then he is as worse off as he would have been had he invested in the stock market. Of course, any smart private equity investor will have contracted a way to screw you whilst taking off with your company lock stock and barrels. Then it's not him - it's you that's doomed.
