PE thesis ideas

Anyone has an (interesting) idea to write my bachelor thesis about? Or something you're personally curious about?I've got access to Preqin, Orbis and Zyphyr. So until now my general ideas headed towards fund or exit performance, but I can't come up with a specific/unique issue.I initially wanted to do an analysis on the effect of fund growth on the performance of the subsequent fund, but it turned out a Finnish student already did this. Maybe someone knows a variation to this?Thanks in advance!!
