Ready for a deep dive into the world of private equity and tech? On the latest KindredCast, LionTree’s Antal Runneboom is joined by Brian Ruder for a fascinating exploration of how private equity has evolved over the last few decades. Brian is a partner at Permira, with over 25 years of experience in private equity. He has also made significant contributions to the technology sector, previously serving as the global Co-head of Technology and currently leading Permira's investment committee. Permira is 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. We also explore Brian’s most significant investments, Permira's unique approach to the technology sector, the current regulatory environment, and the disruptive opportunity that AI presents for investors and companies alike. - Follow us to stay up to date on the latest from Kindred Media Twitter: https://twitter.com/KindredCast LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/kindredmedia Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kindredmediahq/
