MSD Capital, L.P.
 PROFILE
Poor, poor Michael Dell: too much money and nowhere to put it. That's where MSD Capital comes in. Taking its name from Dell's initials, the investment firm handles the Dell Computer founder's personal investments in companies outside his namesake business, allowing him to focus on making PCs. Dell bankrolled MSD with approximately $1 billion in seed money in 1998 with the mandate to invest in promising technology startups and other companies; it has backed online bridal service WeddingChannel.com, among others. In addition to VC investing, MSD Capital invests in public stocks and private equity deals, including LBOs and MBOs. The firm will occasionally invest in other investment firms' limited partnership funds.
