Last month, PGF hosted our CEO Summit in Park City, Utah. We were thrilled to bring together past and present CEOs from across our portfolio companies to share best practices, lessons learned, and build a peer network among those who occupy the (sometimes) lonely seat of CEO. Thank you to every CEO who attended -- we're already looking forward to the next one!

PGF Managing Partner Bryce Youngren joined How To SaaS' PE Value Creation Podcast to discuss our approach to building category-leading technology companies. Thank you to Shiv Narayanan for giving Bryce the opportunity to discuss PGF's unique, collaborative model.
CEO of How To SaaS | Fractional CMO + Advisory Services for PE and B2B Companies | 📖 2x Bestselling Author | 🎙️ PE Value Creation Podcast
Considering how to scale enterprise value after an acquisition? 3 key opportunities that PE firms can leverage: - Organic growth - auditing the current state of the business and optimizing it, e.g. through sales or marketing and pricing. - Inorganic growth - M&A, and layering on acquisitions. - Professionalization of the business - especially with founder-led companies who may not historically have had the right expertise in operations or finance to scale. Learn how Bryce Youngren and Polaris Partners implement these growth levers in the full episode of the Private Equity Value Creation podcast.
