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
