The PE Alternative
Not every growth story follows the traditional VC path. For some founders, private equity can be a smarter option—offering capital, operational expertise, and a path to liquidity without another dilutive raise. But how do you know if PE is right for you, and what does it really look like behind the scenes?
Hear from those who’ve been there: Matt Moore (Partner, Alpine Investors), Steve Reardon (CEO, ASG), and Josh Seidenfeld (Partner, Cooley LLP), moderated by Kemp Moyer (Partner, BPM). This conversation will cover:
• Why some founders are exploring PE instead of another VC round
• How PE investors evaluate opportunities (and what they expect in return)
• What operators have learned scaling under PE ownership
• Legal, governance, and structural considerations you can’t ignore
• Preparing your company for optionality: PE, M&A, or another raise
Following the panel, stay for the networking reception to connect directly with investors, operators, and advisors who are shaping today’s deal landscape.
Speakers
• Matt Moore, Partner, Alpine Investors
• Steve Reardon, CEO, ASG
• Josh Seidenfeld, Partner, Cooley LLP
• Moderator: Kemp Moyer, Partner, BPM
