Private Capital Predictions Webinar 2026
Explore private capital predictions for 2026—navigating IPO and M&A shifts, valuation pressure, LP liquidity demands, and the widening AI competitive divide.
The private capital industry is navigating its most challenging environment in over a decade. Unpredictable IPO windows, selective M&A activity, and valuation pressures are extending holding periods while LPs demand liquidity and fundraising becomes increasingly difficult. Meanwhile, AI is creating a competitive divide—not just between firms that deploy it effectively and those falling behind, but also among portfolio companies where AI adoption is becoming a key value driver.
This webinar brings together industry leaders to dissect the forces reshaping private capital and share strategies for thriving in 2026.
Key topics:
- Market outlook: IPO environment, M&A activity, valuation trends, LP expectations, fundraising dynamics, and the fight to quality
- Sourcing strategies: Winning proprietary deals when founder relationships determine access, and how to manage expectations from investors
- Portfolio management: Supporting companies through extended timelines and valuation resets while helping founders deploy technology, such as AI, effectively to extend runway and reach profitability
- AI as competitive advantage: How leading firms and their portfolio companies use AI in their day to day workflows
