Harvard Business ReviewSummary: Founder-led companies hold immense potential for growth in private equity–backed environments.

Given the attractive upside, private equity firms are increasingly doing deals involving founder-led companies: The proportion of such transactions jumped from 54% in 2020 to 62% in 2023, according to PitchBook, with the dollar value of founder-involved deals increasing from 31% to 44%.- Reproduced
