We connect visionary entrepreneurs and ambitious investors to accelerate growth, create and capture value, and deliver successful, high-return exits.  We bring together businesses with high value creation potential and investors seeking exceptional growth opportunities, achieving optimal business–investor fit and alignment, and driving and realising value from day one.

Founders turn to us to help them navigate the next phase – whether that is scaling-up or transitioning ownership in preparation for an exit.  We support the entire process, starting by helping ensure your growth strategy and value creation plans are robust and executable, the business is operationally and financially investment-ready, and positioned with a clear investment case and compelling narrative to engage the right investor.

For private equity and other investors, our deep industry knowledge, data-driven insights into sector dynamics and growth potential, and C-level network and access enable us to originate and introduce proprietary, off-market/non-intermediated mid-market opportunities with strong fundamentals and exceptional value creation potential, and aligned with their investment theses.

Through the deal process itself, we provide industry insight and advice, support opportunity evaluation, buy-side diligence, valuation, management incentive planning and negotiation, and develop execution plans tightly aligned to clear value creation levers.  At each step, our focus is on enabling our investor client to move quickly, confident that major risks and unknowns have been identified and either mitigated or priced-in.

Post-closing, we work alongside investors as de facto operating partners.  With three decades of delivering major strategic transformation programmes, we support portfolio companies through executing value creation plans and driving operational and digital/AI-enabled transformation designed to accelerate performance gains and value realisation. 

As industries are transformed by AI, we draw on over 15 years of experience advising executive teams and global investors on AI to help portfolio company leadership teams to understand AI’s potential to unlock competitive advantage, to set strategies and build capabilities, and, critically, to “lean in and make a start”.

Through expert, insight-led analysis and execution, Dx³ enables our entrepreneur and investor clients to unlock competitive advantage, enhance performance, create, capture and realise value, and deliver superior outcomes and returns at exit.

This is a promethean moment: the advent of AI and GenAI will transform industries as we know them and businesses will either seize the opportunities or become obsolete. But where to start without playing with fire?

We have been working with AI for more than 10 years and advise global PEs, both on AI strategy and readiness in new opportunities and on leveraging AI and other emergent technologies to transform existing portfolio companies and realise new value. Our advice drives and has driven major investment decisions.

As trusted ‘C’-level advisers, we can identify the impact of AI on different marketspaces, as well as understanding how the latest developments will transfer to real-world strategic growth and transformation opportunities that create exceptional value. These are game-changers and to stay in the game you need to adapt, embrace and drive that change.

At Dx³, we envision, pioneer, mitigate risks and focus on ‘safe’, ethical approaches and our extensive experience from coder to ‘C’-level means we can translate insights into action and ideas into reality.

Our playbook for AI value creation allows us to work with entrepreneurs and portfolio companies alike, using best practices to formulate and facilitate your AI value creation strategy, from R&D labs to global templates.

Beyond the hype, there is a landscape ready for change – we can guide you and your portfolio companies through it.
