Technology in PE: the players

Technology is now a cornerstone of mid-market private equity - not only as a sectorial investment thesis, or a way to unlock the full potential of portfolio companies, but as a transformative force within the industry itself.

To better help GPs navigate this rapidly evolving space, The Drawdown is mapping out the universe of service providers across various use cases, services and functionalities.

If you think your firm should be featured in this guide, please get in touch with our team.
