From investment thesis to buyer proof
When the hold stretches,
the value-creation plan has to change.
Longer hold periods and valuation pressure create a distinct problem: the original plan may already have delivered what it can, while the market still does not support the exit the sponsor underwrote. That calls for a targeted value-creation reset instead of passive waiting.
Private-equity-owned companies remained unsold as of June 30, 2026.
The current backlog reflects a persistent buyer-seller valuation gap, higher financing costs, weaker sponsor-to-sponsor demand and, in software, growing uncertainty about AI's impact on future earnings. Source: PitchBook, as reported by The New York Times, Aug. 10, 2026.
Re-underwrite technology value creation around what can still move the asset inside the remaining hold period.
Refresh the value-creation thesis: focus on initiatives with credible 6–18 month impact.
Improve the earnings profile: lower run-rate cost, increase productivity and strengthen free cash flow.
Resolve AI uncertainty: address product risk while proving practical productivity and growth use cases.
Make progress buyer-visible: tie initiatives to ROI, track their results, and show this material valuation evidence to the buyer.
The market may determine when the window opens.
The sponsor can still improve what goes through it.
Commit's role in an extended hold
Technology value creation
Protect value. Create value. Prove value.
Exit readiness should do more than eliminate red flags.
It should help a buyer believe both current earnings and future upside. The same discipline also improves
how the sponsor and management team govern value creation throughout the cycle.
01 · Protect Value
Reduce the risks that erode earnings or confidence.
Make the operating platform more resilient and less expensive to own.
-
Critical technical debt and end-of-life systems
-
Cybersecurity, compliance and enterprise controls
-
Cloud cost volatility and operational inefficiency
-
Scalability, reliability and key-person dependency
02 · Create Value
Use technology to improve the operating trajectory.
Target levers that move growth, margin and operating leverage.
-
AI-enabled productivity and workflow automation
-
AI-enhanced product development and new capabilities
-
Cloud and legacy modernization and faster product release cycles
-
Platform consolidation and integration of bolt-ons
03 · Prove Value
Turn progress into a value story people can believe.
Don't just speak confidently. Have proof.
-
Board-ready reporting from baseline to realized impact
-
Evidence across cost, productivity, security, scale and product velocity
-
A shared, bi-weekly sponsor-management view of what changed and why it matters
-
A clear operating roadmap showing the upside a future buyer can underwrite
For PE, technology should show up in the value-creation scorecard.
Don’t just launch initiatives. Show what’s working, track the impact, and make the evidence visible.
