Description
Technology remains one of the most active and expansive sectors for middle-market private equity but not all corners of the market are created equal. From health tech and fintech to ed tech, and business services software, sponsors are sharpening their sector focus and applying greater discipline to how they source, underwrite, and build technology platforms. This panel brings together investors, lenders, and advisors to examine where the most compelling middle-market technology opportunities are emerging, how deal structures are evolving, and what a credible value creation plan looks like for a technology platform in today's environment.
