Private Equity

AI for Private Equity: Alpha Across the Fund Lifecycle.

AI is now underwritten into deals, demanded by LPs, and priced into exits. We help GPs and their portfolio companies turn AI from a slide in the deck into measurable EBITDA — within the holding period.

From strategy to impact

An AI Operating Capability for the Franchise

First 100 Days (Deal & Portfolio)

  • AI/tech diligence integrated into live deals, a prioritized AI value-creation plan for one or two portfolio companies, and the first quick-win deployments (back-office automation, customer operations) generating measurable savings.

Fund Cycle and Beyond

  • A repeatable playbook: every new platform gets a day-zero AI roadmap, cross-portfolio infrastructure and lessons compound deal over deal, and exits carry an audited AI value story — the difference between selling potential and selling proof.

What’s next

LPs Are Already Asking

  • Roughly six in ten PE-backed companies have adopted AI — but most run point tools and pilots, not operating models. The execution gap is the opportunity.
  • McKinsey's global private markets research finds leading firms now reflect AI upside and downside directly in diligence and value-creation plans — and have stopped underwriting AI as a long-dated option in favor of use cases that pay within the hold.
  • The expectation gap is stark: ~70% of GPs expect portfolio EBITDA impact from AI, while only ~6% report it today — proof, not adoption, is what LPs and exits now reward.
  • FTI's 2026 index shows time-to-value doubling, with disciplined firms concentrating on a narrow set of proven use cases tied to core value-creation levers.

From complexity to clarity.
