Private Equity Media is Terrible - Suggestions Welcome

Private equity media is terrible. It’s either press releases copy-pasted into “news,” or 1,500 words saying “valuation is a bit high” with no actual point. And the industry events? Half the time it’s the same panels, the same clichés, the same networking theatre. Even the big platforms aren’t helping: • Markets Group: lots of conferences, lots of badges, very little you can apply on Monday. • PEI: plenty of content and events, but too much of it reads like it was written to avoid upsetting anyone who buys a sponsorship. The outcome is predictable: operators, portco teams, and searchers end up learning the hard way, because nobody is publishing the practical stuff. I think something much better can be built. Less narrative. More utility: • deal teardowns (what’s real vs what’s deck theatre) • diligence checklists + scorecards • post-close playbooks (pricing, sales, marketing, ops, systems) • templates you can steal without shame What would you actually find useful? If you could wave a wand and fix one thing about PE content, what would it be?
