- With distributions harder to come by this year, more firms have been thinking about GP-led secondaries processes as an alternative path to exit. -Far from being a short-term fix, however, some believe these transactions could be seen as a “new normal” for exiting private equity assets. - A number of LPs are assuming that there will be little to no IPOs - Today you have more deals being done on the GP-led side than on the IPO side. - There could be €50 billion to €60 billion worth of GP-led transactions executed this year. - Supply is coming from GPs looking for alternative exit routes, demand is also coming from new LPs entering the sector.

In the season finale of Brex's Controllers Classified podcast, BCV partner Sarah Hinkfuss spoke with Erik Zhou to discuss the VC investment landscape and how BCV approaches due diligence for growth-stage companies. For founders, there are three things that are important to share with investors: 1. Your unit economics, or how you think about your business drivers. It’s by far the most important thing today and those inputs (e.g. customer cohort data, gross margin, sales and marketing costs) give you a complete picture of the business. 2. Your business model, or how you think about your future. It doesn’t have to be a huge, complicated spreadsheet. Rather, it’s an important instrument to show people how you think about the business. What is your view of the future and what do you believe are the most important drivers of the business? 3. Your memo, or your narrative. A popular format today is to tell your story in a memo, not a deck, and it’s great because the writing process forces more complete thoughts to give investors a full view of your business and vision.

I recently had the pleasure of speaking with and learning from several software execs from our portfolio companies and industry experts during Thoma Bravo's AI Summit in Miami. It was great to share our insights into trends and practices we see in our portfolio and how we manage opportunities and risks. At TB, we have a long history of guiding enterprise software companies through digital transformation, and we’re already navigating the transition driven by generative AI. Our focus is on managing this new innovation by absorbing the technology to bring meaningful benefits to our portfolio companies and indirectly to their customers. And it’s evolving fast! We see our portfolio companies today using gen AI in generally three ways: first, to create new products and provide customers with incremental use cases. Second, to defend against cyber attacks that have become much more sophisticated by bad actors. And third, as an enabler of talent to make business operations run more efficient and productive. In our view, AI presents a significant growth opportunity, but we also believe that to really maximize that potential, companies should carefully evaluate the risks and be thoughtful about governance, trust, security and data privacy. AI is poised to accelerate innovation and it’s hard to predict the full, transformative potential of AI, but we are confident that some of the advantages of incumbent knowledge and data will be key to unlocking its value.

PE & More Exits I see significant potential in this area - it's important for PE firms to drive tangible value creation and capital-efficient, high-ROI operational improvements that enhance Equity Value and pave the way for successful exits. The #1 example of such value creation: Profitable Revenue Growth (which affects disproportionate EBITDA growth) ------------------ #business #pe #privateequity #ceo #cro #growth

I’m a strong believer in the idea that leading is largely about building empathy. The job isn’t just helping others understand the mission - it’s helping them complete the mission and building alignment through personal context. To take it a step further, you can’t be empathetic if you aren’t curious. Curiosity drives us to ask deeper questions - those questions build empathy and, then, we become more aligned.

https://lnkd.in/gZeefZhX Private equity funds gathered $176.7 billion in the first quarter of 2024, a drop of roughly 10 percent from the $195.5 billion recorded in the same period last year, according to preliminary findings from PEI data. Interest rate uncertainty continues to weigh on buyout and exit activity, while record dry powder for the asset class remains stacked for 2024, the data found.

Summary: The article discusses the current challenges faced by VC firms in attracting new capital, but highlights how established firms like Kleiner Perkins are still able to raise large funds. It also touches on the potential impact of AI on investment strategies. Key takeaways: Many VC firms are struggling to secure new capital in a tepid IPO environment. Established, brand-name firms like Kleiner Perkins are still able to raise significant funds. AI is emerging as a potential game-changer in the investment landscape. Counter arguments: It may be premature to attribute Kleiner Perkins' fundraising success solely to AI; other factors could also be at play. The article may overlook smaller VC firms that are also finding success in fundraising. #venturecapital #vc #venture #startups #artificialintelligence

As I said right at the start of this week's The Heart of Healthcare Podcast, Shivdev Rao is one of the most exceptional founders I have ever worked with. He is also a great human being. In this week's episode he shares what is it like leading the 🚀 that is Abridge and some awesome life lessons. IMHO this is a great listen for founders building in both the AI and healthcare fields!

🤔 Sounds like Pearl IO paid these guys...We didn't, but it doesn't hurt that they highlight how and why we exist and how we approach supporting PE partners succeed. Check out this recent Alvarez & Marsal webcast. Quick summary / takeaways: Generative AI is reshaping PE by accelerating deal execution, enhancing problem identification speed, and deepening analysis. Neat to see dialogue within PE continue regarding opportunities to enhance methods and outcomes. #PE #PrivateEquity #AI #Innovation #DataAnalytics #duediligence #diligence #portfoliomonitoring #valuecreation https://lnkd.in/dD3wznWS

Summary: The article discusses the perspective of Notable Capital's managing partner, Hans Tung, on down rounds in investments. He believes that down rounds can still be beneficial in the long run and reveals his continued enthusiasm for the fintech sector. The article also delves into recent changes at the firm and other shifts in the world of venture capital. Key takeaways: Hans Tung believes that down rounds can lead to a successful outcome in the long run and views an IPO as just one milestone in a company's journey. Nearly 11% of the year's VC deals were down rounds, indicating their prevalence in the current market. Hans shares his optimism for the fintech sector and discusses the specific areas within fintech that excite him. Counter arguments: Some investors may still view down rounds as negative and prefer to avoid them in their investments. The article does not provide any potential drawbacks or criticisms of Hans's perspective on down rounds. #venturecapital #economy #startups

Dan Primack of Axios has some choice words for VCs in this post. If you are an investor, LP or a founder raising money from VCs - worth the read. I tend to agree with Dan here and have some thoughts... 1) Private Equity is an ecosystem that relies on flow not a one-way transfer of assets. VC is semi-broken right now because no one wants to sell off a portfolio below performance targets. Could mean game over for the GPs. Seems like public, private and venture are all trying to remain optimistic while waiting for a drop in interest rates and an uptick in IPOs or PE buyouts to start the liquidity flow again but Fed and inflation data keep frustrating this kicking off. 2) VC have one core job as far as LPs are concerned....Create a magic black box that is a cash multiplier. Not a black hole! When and how early investments become liquid need to change also. 3) We have an 80 year old VC fund model that requires wild, best-case scenario power-law returns to generate the performance numbers the asset class promises to investors. This handcuffs GPs to staying in deals for a very long time as the early exits or lower deal multiples can drag funds performance and then their job security, fee structure, etc as I alluded to above. This also drives companies to "go big or go home" and operate with inherently more risk than stability. 4) Dan talks about the need for liquidity and to get back to the money flow. This is easier said than done as a minority investor. Incrementally easier if you and your co-investors are able to steer the company at the board level but its still "not your company" and the "market is the market" re comps/multiples and demand. 5) So - what can we, as an industry, do about this? We have to evolve. We have to have some hard conversations around the table and not let staid endowment funds and Goldman Sachs dictate how our industry looks at the future...feel like this becomes a new post or a series so I'll leave it here for now. #venture #VC #startups #privatequity

🚀 2023 was a record year for the secondary market with $103B in closed transaction volume. 📈 The secondary market is still in its early days if you consider that VC and PE funds are holding almost $4T in unexited assets. With LPs pulling back new allocations from all but the largest, most reliable funds, it is no surprise that Apollo Global Management, Inc. forecasts the secondary market to double or even triple in size by 2027. 🔑 As LPs want to manage their private markets portfolio dynamically, secondaries represent an exit path for PE and VC funds that cannot be ignored. Having a liquidity strategy should be part of every GP's toolbox to generate distributions for their Limited Partners.

Boards of Directors – How Relevant To The Business Is The Board? In 2014, activist investor Starboard Value successfully replaced all 12 directors on the board of Darden Restaurants. The following shows the Darden incumbent board at the time of Starboard's proxy fight, Starboard’s value creation plan initiatives, the Starboard director nominees and the before and after performance (revenue, EBITDA, EBITDA margin and stock price). Note especially the direct relevance of each Starboard nominee to the industry or some aspect of the value creation plan. How often do you see this level of relevance on public company boards?
