Capex Breakfast Series July 2016

Join us on Friday, July 22^nd for a Breakfast Series on “How to Accelerate Revenue Growth” hosted by Blue Ridge Partners.

Agenda

This breakfast series will focus on how sponsors can capture the full growth-related value creation potential from each investment. Although 60% of all value created over a five-year holding period comes from revenue growth, far too often PE sponsors sub-optimize exit valuations by not focusing on revenue growth initiatives early in the holding period. Growth problems often materialize in years 3 or 4, leaving very little runway for implementing growth initiatives requiring a multi-year time horizon.  To maximize returns, PE firms need a systematic and repeatable approach for helping management teams define revenue growth initiatives early.
