Kindredcast: Insights From Dealmakers & Thought Leaders

Listen in for a fascinating exploration of how private equity has evolved over the last few decades as LionTree Managing Director Antal Runneboom sits with Brian Ruder, Partner, Head of Investment Committee and Co-Head of Technology at Permira, a worldwide investment firm with over $80B of assets under management. A long-time leader in tech and consumer internet investing, Permira’s portfolio includes Allegro, Genesys, Zendesk, Informatica, Adevinta, NDS, LegalZoom and ancestry.com - as well as a pending acquisition of Squarespace. Their discussion charts the course of private equity, from acquiring companies that “nobody wanted to buy” and steering clear of software companies in the 90s to catalyzing some of the best known tech companies operating today. Brian touches on everything from the current regulatory environment to the disruptive opportunity that AI presents for investors and companies alike.
