Demystifying the World of Private Equity
Wednesday, July 22, 2026 from 12:00 - 1:00 PM ET
Private equity is often misunderstood, and for founders thinking about succession, that uncertainty can make it difficult to know whether it’s the right path forward.
Join entrepreneur, investor, and M&A expert Nick Bradley for an engaging conversation that demystifies the world of private equity and explores its role in succession planning. Nick is the founder of High Value Business Group and host of the Scale Up podcast. Drawing on his experience leading more than 27 exits representing over $5 billion in enterprise value, Nick will unpack how private equity firms evaluate businesses, why some founder-led companies attract strong interest while others struggle to find the right partner, and what business owners should consider before pursuing a transaction.
This event is a great resource for leaders who:
- Have been approached by private equity
- Are looking into different options for their succession plan
- Operate in an industry experiencing consolidation
- Want to make informed decisions on the future of their business
Come prepared to learn, ask questions, and gain a clearer perspective on one of the most talked-about and often misunderstood succession pathways available to founders today.
