October 20, 2026
Tech, Digital, and AI
  • What operating partners should be assessing in their first 100 days: the data health checklist that determines whether AI initiatives will deliver value or become another expensive experiment
  • How most portfolio companies are sitting on mountains of data but no usable insight — and why AI amplifies the problem without strong foundations
  • The AI infrastructure shift: how the growing demand for data centers and compute capacity is reshaping value creation across PE portfolios — and why portfolio companies that plan for AI-ready infrastructure early will be better positioned for scale, efficiency, and exit
