29 | How PE Fund & Partner Dynamics Impact Their Bids for Your Business
Understanding the internal dynamics of a PE fund—such as where it is in its lifecycle, who is championing the deal, and how decisions are made—is critical for evaluating the strength and seriousness of their bid for your business.

In this episode, Managing Directors Mike Lyon and Mike Greco discuss how private equity fund dynamics can impact the quality of their bid—from how serious it is, to its structure, to the risk of closing.
