Private equity for
the agentic enterprise.

AI agents are rewriting the operating model of every industry. We acquire and grow businesses where agentic transformation can compound value for decades.

Agentic Enterprise
Investment Thesis

For the first time, software can not only inform work but perform it. Agentic systems — AI that plans, acts and learns across workflows — will reshape cost structures, customer experience and competitive moats across services, industrials and software.

The winners will not simply adopt AI; they will be rebuilt around it. That transformation demands capital, operating expertise and patience — the core competencies of private equity, applied to a new frontier.
