PE Deal Origination in 2023: Insights, Strategies, and Learnings

In a retrospective look at 2023, we find that several factors have combined to create a notable slowdown in deal flow. The persistent presence of economic uncertainty, coupled with increasing valuations and intensified competition, has heightened the difficulty of both identifying and securing attractive deals.

Watch a panel discussion with Private Equity professionals from Palladium Equity, Alantra, and Vance Street Capital, hosted by our CEO, Sam Glasswell, as they reflect on the deal activity in 2023.

They explore deal flow status, prominent sectors for M&A activity, sector-specific strategies that have proven effective this year, and assess how technology, such as AI, is reshaping deal sourcing in the Private Equity landscape.
