What is Private Equity (PE)?

Investment firms that acquire stakes in or buy out mature companies to improve operations and resell at a profit.

Private equity (PE) refers to investment funds that acquire equity stakes in private companies or take public companies private. Unlike venture capital, which focuses on early-stage high-growth startups, PE firms typically invest in more mature, established businesses with proven cash flows.

PE vs Venture Capital

  • Stage: PE invests in mature companies; VC invests in early-stage startups
  • Control: PE often acquires majority or full ownership; VC takes minority stakes
  • Strategy: PE improves operations for resale; VC bets on growth potential
  • Leverage: PE often uses debt (leveraged buyouts); VC uses equity only
  • Returns: PE targets 15-25% IRR; VC targets 25%+ with power-law distribution
