Getting the Most Out of Your Data in Private Equity
When it comes to success in private equity, you need to use data to your advantage. There are data sets that exist within companies that many companies don’t know how to use the data. It gets worse when you realize that even more of these firms don’t know how to structure unstructured data. According to Kevin, the best PE firms know how to use unstructured data as a predictive mechanism going forward. And by doing that, you’re much more dangerous as a firm. It also makes adapting and pivoting before or during a catastrophic event possible.
With debt markets in turmoil, PE deals that dominated business headlines in recent years have gone missing. Yes, all firms are always looking out for new investment opportunities. But the best firms know that their existing portfolio companies are equally important. This is why they have systems to structure unstructured data to better manage their existing portfolio companies and maximize their return on investment faster and more efficiently.
