Private Equity
Private equity firms acquire established, cash-generative private companies — through leveraged buyouts, growth equity, and take-private transactions — with the aim of improving operational and financial performance before exiting via sale, secondary buyout, or IPO. Unlike venture capital, which backs early-stage startups on the strength of future growth potential, private equity targets mature businesses with proven revenue, often using significant debt financing and active, hands-on involvement in portfolio company operations to drive returns for institutional and high-net-worth investors.
