A meaningful share of activity comes through add-on acquisitions, alongside new platform investments. Crossover funds that moved down from public markets appear alongside the traditional buyout franchises. AI product cycles and the shift of enterprise budgets toward software keep this the deepest investment category in the market. These are buyers and control investors.
