Founder
Mukund Chopra
Mukund is an acclaimed serial entrepreneur and investor. Notably, he was part of the Revenue Leadership
team at Groupon (NASDAQ: GRPN) and an early shareholder in Slack (NYSE: WORK) pre IPO. His passion for
investing is only surpassed by a public markets trade when in a failed early retirement he sold a
significant number of shares in WORK for FUN.
FUN is the ticker symbol for Cedar Fair LP - a REIT with a 100 year track record of profitable growth
and dividend expansion. Cedar Fair LP derives a large portion of their operating income from the sale of
goods and services in their parks rather than admissions or rental income. As an LP in multiple PE funds
in both public and private markets Mukund found this to be a missed opportunity across different asset
types.
