Turning Digital Due Diligence Into a Lasting Tech Advantage in PE

Private equity value creation doesn't end after the first ninety days. In our last article, we examined the post-buy tech sprint, a period where execution speed and alignment are crucial for building early momentum. But once that initial groundwork is laid, the focus shifts. Speed is still important, but now it’s about sustainability. And that’s where the conversation moves from value capture to value protection.

First 90 Days After a Tech Deal: A Private Equity Execution Plan

For private equity sponsors, the deal close used to signal the start of a new chapter. Now, it marks the beginning of a sprint. The pace of activity in 2025 has intensified: U.S. deal value topped $838.5 billion last year, and global figures are on track to hit $1 trillion. European PE deal value also rose strongly in 2024 and shows cautious but positive momentum into 2025. But the path to value has become anything but straightforward.

AI in Scientific Publishing - A Turning Point for Platform Builders

Generative AI has moved from the margins of academic publishing into its core infrastructure. Tools like large language models are now widely used by researchers to assist with writing, translation, and formatting. At the same time, these technologies are being misused to produce low-quality or misleading content at scale. Recent analyses reveal the scale of this shift: in biomedical publishing alone, more than 13% of 2024 abstracts likely involved AI-generated language, based on identifiable stylistic patterns.

How Mature Telcos Can Streamline Without Losing Stability

In an industry where reliability is non-negotiable, large telecom companies often find themselves trapped in a paradox. While they’ve mastered scale and uptime, they struggle to shed the architectural weight of decades-old platforms, duplicated systems, and legacy workflows. As demand grows for more agile, customer-focused services, the pressure to modernize mounts, without triggering alarms in the network operations center.

Faster Compliance, Fewer Errors: A RegTech Framework for Reporting Automation

Regulatory reporting has become one of the most resource-intensive functions in compliance, and one of the least scalable when managed through legacy processes. Across our work with RegTech teams, we consistently see the same challenge surface: compliance leaders are being asked to do more, faster, and with greater precision, but often without the tools or time to fundamentally rethink their approach.

Why Fintech Scaleups Start with AI PoCs, Not Full Platform Rebuilds

Fintech scaleups face a familiar tension: how to innovate at speed without disrupting stability. Artificial intelligence offers compelling opportunities to unlock smarter risk scoring, faster operations, and sharper personalization. But for firms operating with lean teams and tight margins, a full-platform overhaul can feel both risky and resource-intensive.

The New Business Model Playbook for First-Time Founders

The term “business model” has evolved far beyond its traditional definition as a static framework for generating revenue. For modern startups, especially those in fintech and digital services, it now denotes a dynamic architecture, one that captures value creation, data flows, and stakeholder incentives in real-time. This shift reflects how companies must adapt not only to market volatility but also to evolving regulatory environments and continuous feedback loops.

AI Agents Promise Scale, But Most Teams Will Miss The Mark

Gartner names it 2025’s top AI trend, but only teams with scope, governance, and value metrics will succeed. Picture an invoice-scanning bot that doesn’t just flag anomalies—it renegotiates payment terms, logs the change in SAP and emails the supplier before finance gets its first coffee. That leap from “copilot” to fully autonomous colleague is what Gartner dubs Agentic AI, the top strategic technology trend for 2025.

Build The Right First Version By Mastering MVP Scoping

Launching a digital product without a tight scope is like setting sail with no charts or weather reports. A minimum viable product (MVP) is the leanest version of your solution that still generates real user learning, revenue, or both. Yet, the value of an MVP drops quickly if its boundaries are unclear. A structured scoping process places guardrails around cost, time, and expectations so founders avoid two classic dangers: over-engineering early features and discovering late that budget or runway is gone.

Deciding What Not to Build – and When to Rescope or Freeze

Products rarely slow down because of bugs. More often, it’s an overloaded roadmap, features added “just in case,” tweaks nobody asked for, scope creep disguised as polish. Before anyone notices, deadlines slip, feedback loops stall, and teams lose momentum. This isn’t an edge case. It’s a pattern. Startups don’t succeed by building everything. They win by building the right things at the right time.
