Private Equity 101 for the tech industry

Hi! João here

The company I work for [1] was recently taken private by a PE consortium. I put together a write-up on what changes post-acquisition. It's not just the headlines (layoffs, cost cuts) but how decision-making, KPIs, product focus, and internal culture shift.

It’s based on direct experience + patterns I’ve seen from others in similar situations. Might be useful if you're in a SaaS company or just curious about how PE works from the inside.

I'm curious to hear how this compares to others' experiences. In particular, from folks who've been through something similar.

Pro-tip: If your company is acquired by private equity, leave at the earliest opportunity. Their profit comes at your expense. Every. Time.
