About Andre Villeroy:
Andre Villeroy was born with the spirit of an entrepreneur, which led him to create, Beyorch, a company some refer to as the Uber of Private Equity. From a very early age, he knew that one day he would own a business, and by the age of 24, he was worth more than $1 million.
The founder of Beyorch, a private equity firm designed for everyday people making $50,000 to $75,000, has set out to do just that. But prior to that, the Vallejo, CA native learned about business the hard way with some serious ups and downs. The two properties he owned, valued at more than $1.1 million, proved difficult investments, as tenants did not always make their monthly payments. He had purchased a four-plex and a house. Fortunately, those ventures were not his long-lasting key to success, and instead they offered some tough lifelong lessons.
Eventually, both of those properties would face foreclosure and Villeroy would end up back at a job in a local oil refinery. He would use that opportunity to save money and learn as much as he could to once again try his hand at entrepreneurship, where he knew he belonged.
Villeroy, a Los Angeles, CA. resident, would attend a real estate seminar that he said he learned very little at, but which led him to a mentor who would help change his life. The man outlined a way to make money selling services on Craigslist, which led him into private equity investing which Villeroy gave a try and was very successful at it.
Villeroy, who attended college for a few years, has spent most of his career in entrepreneurship putting deals together which made him perfect for starting Beyorch, a private equity firm unlike any other. Most private equity companies are for those who can invest a lot of money and tend to be for the wealthy. Beyorch is for everyone and those interested in investing can start with as little as $1,000 or $100,000.
After a couple years, Villeroy would meet another mentor who would lead him into a business working on raising capital that would help him make about $5 million before he was 30 years old. And from there he would started Beyorch based on his life experience and thirst to become wealthy. Villeroy explains that Beyorch is for anyone no matter if they start with a little or start with a lot to invest. For the cost of an online $49 subscription, investors will have the opportunity to work with an advisor who will help them make good investing choices along the way.
