PROFILE |
 |
Forstmann Little & Co. is no small player in the world of buyout boutiques. However, the investment firm is different from many rivals: Its lower interest rates allow its buys more time to develop and pay back debts. The company has had its share of failures, but those have been outweighed by its successes. Recent investments have focused on telecommunications, technology, education, and health care. Since its founding in 1978, Forstmann Little has invested more than $10 billion in about 30 companies. It is led by the surviving member of its founding group, Ted Forstmann (Nicholas Forstmann died in 2001, and William Little died in 2000).
