Market Moving Trends
Deal market is improving but not back yet in a meaningful way
The private equity sector is seeing growing deal flow, but it is not yet seeing the waves of deals that were hoped for given the aging of PE portfolios and LP demands for liquidity.
Market Predictions
AI is a tactic, not a strategy
We’re seeing strong demand for foundational projects, including data quality, data visualization and implementation of enterprise software embedded with AI. As the early “pie in the sky” buzz on AI ebbs, tactical, defined applications are striving to emerge, setting the stage for more practical implementation of AI tools with more actionable value creation potential.

It would have not only given me comfort that I was doing what other top business builders were doing but also would have been a source of alpha that enabled to me to regularly add new due diligence and value creation arrows to my quiver. As a CEO now, I use these insights to inform BluWave's own accelerated growth and development."
