You know your LPs will want an update on your AI results.
Turn your portfolio's AI mandate into EBITDA you can show.
We work with private equity and growth equity firms from the first hundred days through mid-hold. We find the AI opportunities inside each company, help the company build them, and measure what they delivered.
What you get from working with us
You can engage Talas directly, or through one of your portfolio companies. Talas acts as an end-to-end partner: identifying value creation opportunities, working alongside the company for hands-on enablement and development, and measuring results through the Talas AI Portfolio Ops Platform.
Identify AI opportunities
AI Value Creation Assessments
We rank each company's AI maturity function by function, map every opportunity to the five value creation levers by impact and complexity, and hand back a Now, Next, Later roadmap.
Capture AI opportunities
Forward-Deployed Engineering
Our product and engineering leaders, who have taken companies through a private equity acquisition, work alongside the company's team to capture what the assessment found, from training and tool rollouts to custom AI applications.
Measure results from AI
The Talas AI Portfolio Ops Platform
See every company's metrics, pulled from the reporting you already receive and scored on the same five levers in one dashboard. Explore them with your AI agent of choice.
Talas works with firms of every size and specializes in software-focused PE and growth equity.
Every firm starts from a different place. Here's where Talas fits.
For firms without an AI team
Get the benefits of an AI value creation team, without hiring one.
Talas brings the whole capability: assessments to find where AI can move EBITDA in each company, engineers to capture it, and a platform to measure what changed.
For lean portfolio ops teams
Enable your portfolio ops team to go deeper and wider with portcos.
When each person covers many companies, Talas keeps every company on the same measures, gathers the context behind the numbers automatically, and puts a team into the companies that need one.
For large firms looking to leverage AI
Empower your firm and portcos to fully leverage AI internally for value creation.
Give your portfolio operations team the data, permissions and MCP server to build its own AI tools. Or bring us in for targeted interventions at specific portfolio companies.
