Experience with Private Equity Spinouts

Who here has been with a company that was under PE rule, and either eventually IPOed or was sold off to another larger company?

What was the experience like, both leading up to the event (let’s say the full year before) and after?

Was a part of a company owned by PE and was sold to a large international tech conglomerate, can say that it was a drastic change of pace.

The time leading up to and after any "event" is always going to be a bit more stressful than operating normally. Going into it, expect more pressure from leadership on pipeline, target achievement, process execution and reporting. Coming off an event expect a lot of "business as usual" for roughly 6-12 months, and then usually aggressive change to whatever the "new norm" is.

And the new norm changes and the cycle starts over again. It happens until PE sells.

Was a part of a company owned by PE and was sold to a large international tech conglomerate, can say that it was a drastic change of pace. Leading up to the event was pretty hectic and obviously being absorbed by a larger business always means pretty rapid change - both day to day and procedurally overall - but PE firms usually don't hook your benefits up the way a tech company typically does, although bureaucracy will come into play at any large scale enterprise. All in all, good experience.

For something basic I'd go with a Jameson and Ginger though or a craft beer
