We're excited to share that BluWave, LP once again recognized ICV Partners, LLC as a Top Private Equity Innovator, placing us among the top 2% of PE firms in 2024 for our innovation across proactive due diligence, transformative value creation, modern private equity firm operations and corporate citizenship*.

To learn more about the awards, you can visit: https://lnkd.in/edm9fZCK   #TopPrivateEquityInnovator #BluWave #ICVPartners   *BluWave, LP has not received investment capital from and holds no ownership interest in the PE firms evaluated or recognized under the Top Private Equity Innovator awards program. BluWave received no compensation from any of the PE firms in connection with this awards program. However, BluWave may otherwise provide services to the PE firms and/or portfolio companies, but BluWave confirms that its assessment of the PE firms was independent of any such service arrangements. Top 2% in the PE industry is based on BluWave’s review of the more than 5,000 PE firms in the U.S. and Canada from which the PE firms were selected as award recipients.

Do you think that Private Equity firms are talking about culture blending support and not really backing it up upon acquiring their portfolios? Do most of them still focus only on EBITDA and ignore the personal involvement with their portcos?
