    Technology due diligence that predicts execution risk

    Technology due diligence is often treated as a risk-screening exercise, yet many post-acquisition execution failures stem from issues it fails to surface. Traditional diligence evaluates technology in its current state, but rarely assesses how systems, teams, and decisions behave under pressure. In regulated and fintech environments, this gap shows up quickly through slowed delivery, integration friction, and rising compliance overhead. Architecture, decision-making structure, regulatory design, and knowledge concentration ultimately determine how fast and safely a business can evolve post-close. When technology due diligence is used to inform value creation planning rather than just deal approval, execution risk becomes clearer and early momentum is easier to protect.

  • Assessing AI efficiency in private equity-owned companies

    Assessing AI efficiency in private equity-owned companies

    Across private equity-owned companies, AI-driven efficiency is shaped less by tool choice than by operating discipline. Structural complexity, architectural clarity, and ownership determine whether AI reduces friction or adds to it. Initiatives that succeed are narrowly scoped, validated early, and embedded in existing workflows with clear accountability. Those who fail tend to scale ambition before proving impact. In this context, AI is most effective when treated as a lever for execution quality rather than a standalone transformation.

    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.
