Today, my guest is Jordan Silber, a Partner at Cooley whose practice is concentrated on the formation and representation of private investment funds – primarily venture capital and growth equity funds – in the US, Greater Asia and Middle East/North Africa regions. Over the last 20 years, he has acted in a leading legal capacity in the raising of more than $100 billion in private fund interests.
