The Bolt-On Integration Study Coming Soon

Integration is one of the most under-examined drivers of value in private equity. We’re looking to change that. Carpedia International and Private Equity Professional are running a short benchmark study on bolt-on integration—covering ownership, speed, technology strategy, and how consistently synergies are realized.

If you’re a private equity leader, we’d value your perspective. The survey takes less than 2 minutes to complete, and participants will receive early access to the results before they’re released publicly.

Value Creation in Private Equity 2025

Operational improvement strategies have emerged as a vital component in private equity deal success. 

We asked 50 Private Equity representatives to weigh in on the timing and the type of improvement initiatives that have the greatest impact, along with the role of AI and automation, and the importance of Operating Partners and Advisors. Our findings confirm a strong trend toward a proactive commitment to value creation, particularly in cost optimization, digital transformation, and revenue enhancement.
