Modern private equity and venture capitalist firms have been around for over half a century. With time, these firms have gotten better and more efficient at what they do by leveraging technology and expertise. This is why, nowadays, you won’t get to read any news about major PE or VC firms blowing up and ending up bankrupt. Advanced tech like machine learning, artificial intelligence, neural networks, etc., allows them to process and analyze data with extremely high accuracy, enabling them to make highly accurate decisions which helps them make massive strides that eventually result in fast and sustainable growth over a long period. Having said that, it is often noticed that this level of positive and aggressive change is not exactly translated over properly to other internal departments within these companies. In this article, we will be going through the important details of how PE and VC firms can leverage HR to find areas of untapped potential that can be accessed to find more growth.

Definitions and Distinction

The term ‘private equity’ is commonly used in a broad and all-inclusive sense by both proponents of the industry and its critics. Simply put, these are two fundamentally different forms of investment.

First, the early-stage investments in new endeavors that often operate in emerging or fast-changing sectors are commonly termed ‘venture capital’ or ‘VC’. There is a broad consensus that venture capital’s effects are generally positive, other than, in some instances, contributing to excessive speculative bidding up of share prices.

Second, and what is often referred to as ‘private equity’ per se, is the buying out of mature enterprises by large investment groups on the basis that a change in governance and management style (or an ability of the present management to operate more effectively) will lead to greater returns. The second category, in and of itself, is diverse. There are buyouts by outsiders, including leveraged buyouts (LBOs), management buy-ins (MBIs), and investor-led buyouts (IBOs).

Another different category of business called ‘hedge funds’ is also commonly clubbed in with the definition of ‘private equity,’ which is anything but accurate. In the most basic sense, ‘hedge funds’ are organizations that take large sums of money from the super-rich, a.k.a HNIs (High Networth Individuals), and give them to professional money managers, who invest those sums of money in the various types of global money markets to derive better-than-average returns. So, not exactly ‘private equity.
