CAVU Consumer Partners 的罗汉·奥扎(Rohan Oza)表示,公开市场将成为“伟大的纠正者”,针对估值过高的私营公司。
Public markets are going to be “the great corrector” for private companies with lofty valuations, according to CAVU Consumer Partners’ Rohan Oza.
“我认为私募股权估值已经脱离现实,因为人们必须部署资本,”奥扎在周六于纽约排灯节派对上的一次采访中表示。他是该风投公司的联合创始人。
“I think that private equity valuations have become unhinged because people have to deploy capital,” Oza, co-founder of the venture firm, said Saturday during an interview at a New York Diwali party.
奥扎的公司孵化了Poppi和Vital Proteins等品牌。他预测将会出现一些“巨头赢家”,如SpaceX和Anthropic。他对后者有敞口。但他补充说,许多其他公司“将被淘汰,因为公开市场最终会让你走上正轨。而一些私募市场在某种程度上奖励了不良行为。”他并非唯一一个对过度炒作的私募市场表示担忧的人。资金管理者们日益被科技巨头所承担的巨额债务、相互关联交易网络的风险以及似乎与基本面脱节的天价估值所惊扰。
Oza, whose firm is behind brands like Poppi and Vital Proteins, predicted there will be some “juggernaut winners” like SpaceX and Anthropic. He has exposure to the latter. But he added that a lot of other companies “are going to get washed out because public markets in the end set you straight. Whereas some of the private markets kind of reward bad behavior.”He isn’t alone in airing concerns about over-hyped private markets. Money managers are increasingly spooked by the vast amounts of debt taken on by tech giants, the risk of a web of interconnected deals and sky-high valuations that seem untethered to fundamentals.
上周,云计算服务提供商CoreWeave Inc.(核心波浪公司)因其信用风险指标升至历史最高点,市值蒸发了四分之一。

“存在大量炒作,随后现实就会到来,而在华尔街生存确实很艰难,”A-Series Investments and Management的创始人安朱拉·阿查里亚(Anjula Acharia)在她于周六为金融、艺术和娱乐界南亚领袖举办的“万物皆亮”舞会上说道。排灯节是印度教徒庆祝光明战胜黑暗的节日。
“There’s a lot of hype, and then reality kicks in, and being on The Street is really hard,” Anjula Acharia, founder of A-Series Investments and Management, said at the All That Glitters Ball, the Diwali party she hosted Saturday for South Asian leaders in finance, arts and entertainment. Diwali is the Hindu festival that celebrates light over darkness.

与会者包括Bilt Technologies创始人安库尔·贾恩(Ankur Jain)、对冲基金经理阿尼尔·贡迪(Anil Gondi),以及风险投资投资者高拉夫·玛图尔(Gaurav Mathur)及其妻子迪维娅·玛图尔(Divya Mathur)——她是时尚公司Revolve Group Inc.的首席商品官。
Attendees included Bilt Technologies founder Ankur Jain and hedge fund manager Anil Gondi, as well as venture capital investor Gaurav Mathur and his wife Divya Mathur, the chief merchandising officer of fashion firm Revolve Group Inc.
与会者之一、数据中心开发者阿尼塔·维尔马-拉利安(Anita Verma-Lallian)也表示,她同样认为该行业存在泡沫。
Data center developer Anita Verma-Lallian, who also attended, said she, too, sees frothiness in the industry.
亚利桑那土地咨询公司(Arizona Land Consulting)的创始人维尔马-拉利安(Verma-Lallian)表示,该公司专注于为数据中心进行土地收购和开发,许多大型项目可能会因科技巨头在获取土地和电力方面遇到困难以及面临分区问题而被推迟。
Verma-Lallian, founder of Arizona Land Consulting, which specializes in land acquisition and development for data centers, said that many big projects are likely to get delayed as tech giants struggle to access land and power and face zoning issues.
“现在,我认为华尔街正在将资金重新定向到更具现实性的项目上,”她说,指的是已经满足这些需求的场地。
“Now, I think Wall Street’s repricing into projects that are more real,” she said referring to sites that have already secured those needs.
奥扎(Oza)表示,该活动已经成为一个用于社交、交易甚至投资机会的中心,例如备受追捧的IPO前分配。“你会通过朋友的朋友认识人,这就是早期进入的方式,”他说。
The event has become something of a hub for networking, deal-making and even investing opportunities such as coveted pre-IPO allocations, Oza said. “You find friends of friends, that’s how you get in, in the early days,” he said.
在今年的派对上,Netflix公司资深高管贝拉·巴贾里亚(Bela Bajaria)成为关注焦点。她几天前刚被解除该公司首席内容官职务。她拒绝就离职发表评论,但谈到了她在流媒体巨头所认为的成就。
At this year’s party, Netflix Inc. veteran Bela Bajaria, who days ago was dismissed as the firm’s chief content officer, was a subject of attention. She declined to comment on her departure, but spoke about what she viewed as her accomplishments at the streaming giant.
“要真正在全球范围内进行跨多种类型、语言和口味的叙事,并将其带给全球观众,这非常有成就感,”她说。
“To really do storytelling across that many different genres and languages and tastes around the world, and really bring that to a global audience is so rewarding,” she said.
