The silent dealmaker: How AI is transforming portfolios and driving valuations.

AI for value creation in private equity

Creating value begins with the question: What can be scaled, automated, and managed intelligently?

Private equity (PE) is under increasing pressure to transform: shorter holding periods, higher purchase prices, more demanding investors. Traditional levers such as staff cuts, purchasing conditions, and standardization are no longer sufficient to achieve the desired EBIT multiplier. Anyone who is serious about value creation today cannot ignore AI—not as a tool, but as a strategic accelerator.

Why AI is a game changer in the PE context:
Unlike corporations, PE investors aim for rapid, substantial improvements in results. AI offers exactly that: it identifies inefficiencies, automates routines, reduces manual errors, and creates scalable intelligence in core processes. Above all, AI is the only lever that simultaneously impacts EBITDA, working capital, and valuation multiples.

The Value Creation framework aims to establish artificial intelligence as a targeted multiplier in the private equity context – with a clear focus on EBITDA growth, working capital efficiency, and multiple expansion at exit. It creates a structured approach to achieve rapid impact, deliver measurable value, and translate technological maturity into an investor-relevant storyline.
