Our Proprietary Approach to Value Creation: IgniteALPHA
We believe many private equity firms have over-rely on cost reduction as a key levers for deal economics. While we believe operational improvement is important, EQ Equity Partners focuses on identifying unrealized value and opportunities to leverage emerging technology to drive value creation. We also understand that investment is often required to drive outsized returns.
Our approach to creating value starts with the "end in mind". Working with management and leveraging our knowledge of the industry, we focus on key value drivers of the business to identify unrealized opportunities to grow the business and expand EBITDA margins. To accomplish this we leverage IgniteALPHA, our proprietary AI-enabled platform, to drive a disciplined approach investing and creating higher returns throughout the life-cycles of a portfolio company.
