Paying more attention to the technology running portfolio companies
Hey all -
New here. Was happy to stumble upon your community. Hope my question fits the spirit of this forum. If it doesn't, please let me know, and I'll remove it.
I'm in technology. We've been working the last couple of years on some substantial software development efforts at PE-owned companies (for some well known PE firms). As a result of this work, and in other conversations with some in the PE community, I got a little peek into how the PE firms are thinking about and monitoring major software development efforts at their portfolio companies. I've been surprised by how hands-off PE is with their approach to these efforts, especially given how impactful the projects can be (both to the upside and downside). Seems like PE is way more hands on when it comes to sales, marketing, ops, and other back office tweaks. But, with tech, not so much. Kind of cross your fingers and hope you don't waste a couple/few million dollars.
Any thoughts as to why this is?
