About Event

Walk into any PE portfolio company today and you'll find ChatGPT Enterprise, Copilot, or Claude licenses sitting in the tech stack. Walk into the workflows and you'll find people still doing the work by hand.

Use cases stay fragmented. AI lives in isolated experiments. Daily operations look the same as they did two years ago.

Meanwhile, growth targets keep climbing, and headcount is no longer the lever.

In this webinar, we'll show how portfolio companies went from scattered pilots to embedded AI workflows in 90 days.

Based on real implementations across PE-backed companies, we'll cover:

  • which AI use cases actually move the needle (and which ones waste time)

  • how to roll out AI securely without slowing teams down

  • how to turn experiments into measurable operational impact

Built for PE investors, operating partners, C-level leaders, and commercial teams in mid-market businesses. Registration is reviewed to keep the room focused.

This is the unfiltered version of what works, what breaks, and what we'd do differently.
