Who we work with
AI value creation for private equity and venture portfolios
Pravv works with private equity and venture operating partners to put AI into value-creation plans. We find where AI moves EBITDA or growth in each portfolio company, agree a Value Case with its leadership team, deliver with their people, and report value in terms the investment committee and future buyers will recognize.
What gets in the way
What we hear most often.
01
AI is in every plan, but not in the numbers
Portfolio companies run pilots, but few can show an EBITDA or growth impact you could put in front of an investment committee.
02
Every company starts from scratch
Each portfolio company buys its own tools and advisors, so lessons and platforms are not shared across the fund.
03
The hold period is short
You need wins in the first 100 days and a credible AI story at exit, not a multi-year transformation program.

Questions
Questions we are asked
How does Pravv work with PE operating partners?
We work alongside the operating partner and each portfolio company's leadership. Typically we start with a Value Diagnostic per company, then deliver Value Sprints on the priorities that move EBITDA.
Can Pravv deliver results inside a 100-day plan?
Yes, for well-chosen priorities. A Value Diagnostic takes 4 to 6 weeks and a Value Sprint 8 to 12 weeks, so a first solution can be live and measured within the first 100 days.
Does Pravv work across a whole portfolio?
Yes. A Value Partnership can cover several portfolio companies, sharing patterns, platforms and lessons while each company keeps its own Value Case.
How is value reported to the fund?
Against each company's Value Case: baseline, target, owner and levers, reviewed at board meetings and measured again 90 days after each engagement.
