درباره این اپیزود
A private equity firm bought a paint company. Turned out their sales reps were handing out 50% discounts to any contractor who asked nicely.
That's the kind of blind spot 3 PE leaders talk through in this episode. What actually happens once a private equity deal gets underway.
Carl Evander (OC&C), Sean McDevitt (Arthur D. Little), and Dave Clement (Simon-Kucher) break down how a deal actually gets picked, checked out, and sold for a profit.
You'll learn:
- Why the numbers on older deals are forcing PE firms to sell now, ready or not
- What "real diligence" looks like once you've actually bought the company
- The 1 skill partners say will matter more than AI in 3 years
