In this insightful episode, Sujata Shyam sits down with Litan Yahav, a successful entrepreneur and passive investor, to discuss his journey from selling his 3D diamond imaging startup to navigating the world of private Investing.

Throughout the conversation, Litan provides valuable insights into the risks and rewards of private investing, the importance of finding trustworthy operators, and the benefits of using technology to streamline the investment management process.

Quotes:

“The biggest risk in private investing is finding people you can trust – operators who will not lie to you, steal from you, or scam you. That’s super important.” – Litan Yahav

“When comparing passive and active investing, it’s crucial to look at the relationship between the returns and the work required. Sometimes, the exponentially higher time investment in active deals doesn’t justify the marginally higher returns compared to passive investing.” – Litan Yahav
