AI from due diligence to value creation

From due diligence to value creation: we help equip your fund and portfolio companies with AI capabilities.

We prioritise use cases by impact, feasibility and strategic fit, build them with the management team and train the organisation to carry them on. What works at one portfolio company can be replicated at the next.

How we work with portfolio companies

From alignment in the management team to workflows in production.

  1. 1

    Executive alignment

    Hands-on, demo-driven strategy sessions to get the management team on the same page.

  2. 2

    Use Case Discovery Sprint

  3. 3

    Build and go live

    The first workflows go from pilot to production on the company's own data.

  4. 4

    Build internal capability

    The AI Champions Programme builds the company's internal AI leaders.

Questions about AI for private equity

How can AI contribute to value creation in a portfolio company?+

We prioritise AI use cases by impact, feasibility and strategic fit, then take the first ones from pilot to production, with clear metrics from day one.

Do you work with the fund or with the portfolio company?+

We work hands-on with the management team of the portfolio company. Where several companies in a portfolio want to start, the same approach can be used for each.

How do we get started?+

With an Executive Alignment Workshop of 1-2 days for the management team, or a focused Use Case Discovery Sprint of 2-4 weeks.

Do you also work in the United Kingdom?+

Yes. We work with companies in the Netherlands, the United Kingdom and elsewhere in Europe.
