Affinity Partners: The Money Wizards!

Affinity Partners is like a special club for grown-ups who help businesses. It started in 2021, which is super recent, like when you were just starting kindergarten! It's run by a person named Jared Kushner.

Think of them as money helpers, finding companies that need a boost to become even bigger and better. They are like the coaches for businesses, giving them the energy to run faster and jump higher!

This is a really interesting part! Most of the money Affinity Partners uses to help companies comes from a very big country called Saudi Arabia. It's like if your lemonade stand got a giant donation from a king!

The biggest helper is the Saudi government's special savings account, called the Public Investment Fund. They gave a HUGE amount of money, $2 billion! That's enough money to buy millions and millions of your favorite toys!

Affinity Partners takes all that money and invests it in companies. But not just any companies! They look for businesses in America and Israel that want to grow in exciting places like India, Africa, and other parts of Asia.

It's like they are planting seeds of businesses in different gardens around the world, hoping they will grow into amazing trees. They want to help these companies become super successful!

This whole operation is run by a small but mighty team. There are only about 20 people working at Affinity Partners. That's like the number of kids in your class!

Jared Kushner owns the whole company. Even though they have a lot of money to work with, they are still very new, and by 2024, they hadn't made any profits yet. It takes time for businesses to grow, just like it takes time for a plant to sprout!
