Multiple:X Private Equity Fundraising and COVID-19

COVID-19 upended the whole world - including all aspects of Private Equity. While deal activity has been strong, the impact on fundraising has not been covered in a lot of detail. We will talk to several funds raising their first funds or launching new strategies last year to see how this part of PE process has adapted to Zoom-led meetings and how this will impact deal activity down the line.

We will be joined by Richard Howell of PAI Partners, Fredrik Brynildsen of KLAR Partners and Nicolas Piau of TiLT Capital Partners.

Richard Howell is a Managing Partner at PAI Partners, £12B PE investor based in Europe. While typically PAI focuses on large-cap buyouts, they have launched a £800M mid-market fund in 2020, for which Richard has led the fundraising.

Fredrik Brynildsen is a Partner at KLAR Partners, PE investor that raised their first fund in 2020, making it the biggest ever inaugural fund in Europe at £520M. KLAR Partners are investing in business services and industrials companies across Nordics and DACH region.

Nicolas Piau is the Co-Founder and CEO of TiLT Capital Partners, PE investor in clean energy sector founded in 2019. They have been raising their inaugural £220M fund throughout the pandemic.

Session will be moderated by LBS Prof. Florin Vasvari, Academic Director of Private Equity at LBS.
