EPISODE 29Private equity meets AI in a grounded, operator-first conversation with Jason Friedrichs of AEA Elevate. We cover why “no-regrets” initiatives and clear ROI gates beat hype cycles, how to build an AI-first value creation plan, and why team design—not just capital—drives repeatable growth. Jason shares his thoughts on where PE playbooks are shifting beyond spreadsheets, the small wins that compound across functions (GTM, support, back office), how to navigate macro shocks, and what sectors he believes are primed for outsized AI-enabled revenue and margin expansion.CHAPTERS00:00 – The “no-regrets” move00:37 – Framing PE × AI: beyond hype to operating leverage06:19 – ROI discipline, pilots, and budgeting for AI15:20 – Beyond capital: the PE playbook & first 180 days20:21 – Healthcare opportunity, macro shocks, and exitsLINKSConnect with Jason Friedrichsaeainvestors.com/elevate • LinkedInStay Connected with Founder ModeSubscribe to our newsletter: foundermode.kit.comConnect with KevinLinkedIn • X/TwitterConnect with JasonLinkedIn • X/Twitter
