Private Equity Madness

Heard of March Madness?  Of course. In fact, it’s starting soon.  (Be prepared for the inevitable cycle of round 1 and 2 elation when you brilliantly get 27 out of 32 first round picks, and round 3 and 4 disappointment when your bracket is busted!)  

We’d like to introduce you to ValueCore’s first-of-its-kind  Private Equity Madness.  

See San Francisco CBS Sports Anchor Scott Reiss interview ValueCore founder/ CEO Mike Genstil on the inspiration for Private Equity Madness, the first-of-its-kind tournament of Private Equity firms!

Who’s in?  K1.  TPG. Vista.  Francisco Partners.  And a few firms in Europe!

No, the PE firms aren’t shooting baskets.  If we wanted to evaluate them as athletes, we’d put them on a golf course and watch them drive and putt.

But yes, the firms are competing on the value their portfolio companies deliver to their customers.

We are leveraging our proprietary database of 1M+ value statistics across nearly 20,000 companies to understand how the best companies quantify the value they deliver across cost savings, revenue acceleration, productivity gains, and risk mitigation.

Every PE firm talks about the fact they bring expertise and value, not just cash.  (Heard this before?). But which ones deliver?  Let’s look at the data!
