Quality Connections,
Real Opportunities.
This conference aims to bring together our clients, other investors, and high-quality companies ready to engage. Each company is fully prepared with comprehensive financial accounting statements and concise descriptions, enabling all parties to have meaningful conversations.
We will showcase exciting companies making significant contributions to a growing economy. The centerpiece of the day will be the “Exit Bootcamp,” where companies can engage with private equity investors and other professionals to receive advice on selling their business or increasing enterprise value.
Who should attend?
This conference is suitable for these attractive targets:
Private Equity Investors seeking well-organized, substantial and growing businesses with well-documented finances.
Professionals offering counsel and seeking the most attractive clients in Indonesia.
Banking and Finance Professionals focused on deal structuring.
Corporate Executives from listed and private Indonesian companies seeking valuation, ideas to improve enterprise value and investment.
Our clients! - you are welcome to attend on the house.
Exit Bootcamp
What could truly intrigue companies and private equity firms? A chance for companies to assess their value in the private or public marketplace—no strings attached. The idea is to present a PE firm with essential, straightforward materials—five years of financials, basic metrics, and a summary (no lengthy pitches or PPMs). The PE and companies could meet in a civilized no pressure environment about things that would increase enterprise value. NLDR will arrange meetings for financiers, professionals and companies based on their interests.
Who benefits:
Companies: They get insights from top market experts.
Private equity sponsors: Quality conversations with potential portfolio companies.
Society: Capital formation is beneficial to society.

Nicholas Levenstein
I’m pleased to host and moderate a conference focused on two of the most exciting aspects of my professional journey. Day-1 is all about crypto and derivative trading. Five years ago, I started trading for myself and clients, and since then, we’ve quintupled our investors’ money. Our CMFDH II fund has achieved a compounded annual return of 91%, even with our worst quarter posting an 8% loss. One of the unfortunate aspects of being a hedge fund manager is that only a handful of clients ever reach out directly. This conference is an excellent opportunity to engage with our investors and others interested in our niche expertise.
On day-2, we’ll turn our attention to opportunities in our new home, Indonesia. Buyouts are incredible! The economic indicators here look promising, but we want to hear directly from companies operating in this dynamic market. We’ll also feature professionals and investors to discuss challenges, property rights, and cultural considerations specific to Indonesia.
Our hope is for attendees to make meaningful connections. For those staying on for day three, it will be a day for networking, sports, and a bit of friendly competition. Activities include a morning surf group, the Maximilian Golf Cup during the day, and the Maximilian Squash Cup for the “type A” personalities who thrive on competition.
For context, I hold a BA from Yale University and an MBA from UCLA. I’m passionate about derivative trading and deal-making, and I can’t wait to share this experience with all of you!
