Our value proposition for Private Equity
A direct access to tomorrow’s
worldwide leaders
Invest in the companies
that will shape the future
Head of Investments at a large
European Family Office
“PwC’s Accelerator offers deal flows industry
intelligence to investors who are keen to invest
in fast growing companies.
Investing directly into PE companies as
opposed to investing into PE funds is
increasingly appealing. However, we lack the
intelligence to do so with confidence.
The PE Acceleration Services gives us the
confidence we need to make direct investment
decisions with the comfort of having an expert
at our side.
PwC’s Accelerator has provided us with all the
intelligence needed to make a decision”
“PICS is a rapidly expanding global
provider of supply chain risk management
services, who over the last 12 months have
benefited greatly from our participation
in the PwC Accelerator programme.
The ability to extend our business reach
globally at an improved pace, whilst
better managing our associated risks, has
allowed us to deliver world class service
to some of the biggest brands in industry.
We see this relationship creating ongoing
value for our clients, ourselves and our
investors.”
John Moreland
CEO and Founder, PICS Auditing LLC
You
Your strategic challenges
As an investor, maximising the return on your investments while mitigating your risks is crucial. That’s why the
companies you invest in need to have a promising vision and the level of business sophistication you’re looking for.
Besides finding the right target, defining an investment plan is another challenge you face. While entrepreneurs
welcome investors’ equity and expertise as means of expanding their business, their long-term vision might differ
from your own. Here lies a clear need to bridge the gap between your objectives and the entrepreneur’s ambitions,
and to design a win-win approach that meets the requirements and wishes of both of you.
As an investor you might face some challenges including:
• identifying qualified international investment opportunities,
• finding assistance in your deal execution,
• increasing significantly the value of your companies portfolio.
