For Private Equity

From deal room to value creation.
The AI partner for funds and their brands.

We work with PE funds at two moments that matter: before the deal, with a senior tech & AI diligence that calls the risks plainly, and after the deal, by walking portfolio brands through their digital and AI transformation, hands on the keyboard.

Why funds work with us

A senior take, not a deck.

Most tech advisors hand funds a slide. We hand them a working assessment, a plan portfolio CEOs can execute, and, when asked, the team that ships it.

01 / Operator DNA

We have run the things we audit

Decades inside data, product and engineering across regulated, consumer, and B2B. We can tell legacy from liability, vendor lock-in from a fair trade-off, and an AI roadmap from theatre.

02 / Honest on AI

We tell you when AI is not the bet

The diligence and the transformation plan say what is real and what is hype. Where AI moves EBITDA, we say so. Where it doesn't, we say that too, in writing.

03 / Build, transfer, leave

No retainer dependency on the portfolio

For portfolio engagements we ship the product, train the brand's team, and step out. Funds keep optionality. CEOs keep their team. No captive vendor.

How we engage

Two moments. One partner.

01 · Pre-deal

Tech & AI Due Diligence

2–4 weeks. A senior read on the target's technology, data, and AI posture, written for an investment committee, not a CTO.

Architecture, stack & technical debt assessment
Data assets, IP & defensibility review
AI maturity scoring, real vs. claimed capabilities
Cybersecurity, GDPR & EU AI Act exposure
Team & key-person dependency mapping
100-day value-creation hypotheses with effort/value/risk
02 · Post-deal

Portfolio Digital & AI Transformation

Ongoing. We walk a portfolio brand through its digital and AI revolution, from the first roadmap to the products in production.

Operating-model diagnostic anchored to the value-creation plan
Fractional CDO / CPO for portfolio brands without senior tech leadership
High-leverage AI builds shipped to production, not pilots
Hiring & vendor selection oversight on behalf of the fund
Governance, ethics & AI Act compliance, designed in not bolted on
Quarterly read-outs in the fund's reporting cadence
Insights for investors

Practical writing on data ethics & responsible AI.

Not theory. Working interpretations of what GPs and portfolio CEOs are now expected to do, drawn from advisory work and EU regulation in flight.
