Years ago when I was finishing up my MBA, I wanted to be a Management Consultant so I did ton of research on potential companies that I could send resumes to. Bain & Company was on that list, among others. So tonight I finally decided to see what the connection was between Bain & Company and Bain Capital. I hadn't bothered to look up the history until now and as I started reading through the wiki entries on both companies, I noticed some interesting things.
So I decided to throw this diary together and put it out there to see if anyone has any further insight into the goings-on behind Bain Capital's creation and where the money came from and if Bain Capital was possibly created as a vehicle to transfer partner cash from a struggling Bain & Company to be protected in Bain Capital.
More below the squiggle.
