2024 Recap: The Best of GrowthTV
A look back at our top GrowthTV episodes of the year
Stubbornly high interest rates, geopolitical uncertainty and growing pressure from LPs to return some capital in a tough exit environment were among the most powerful forces shaping middle-market M&A activity in 2024. With that in mind, it’s no surprise that our top GrowthTV episodes of the year were all about the data and gaining insights into market trends, both past and future.
3. How AI Is Impacting Deal Sourcing
AI is widely expected to change the entire M&A lifecycle, and for some aspects of the deal cycle, that transformation is already here. Marc Chase, leader of the private equity industry at Baker Tilly, joins GrowthTV to discuss how AI is changing the deal sourcing process, and to share actionable tips on how dealmakers can integrate AI effectively into their own processes.
2. 2024 Economic Outlook with RSM’s Tuan Nguyen
2023 was a year of inflationary pressures, high interest rates and recessionary fears that kept global M&A activity at the lowest level in a decade. Tuan Nguyen, an economist with RSM US LLP, joins GrowthTV to discuss what’s next for the economy, how macro trends will affect the middle market and how businesses can best position themselves for success.
1. Q2 2024: Is the M&A Rebound Finally Here?
Data from the first half of 2024 showed signs of a rebound for middle-market, PE-backed M&A, with deal volume and average multiples up—but the full picture is a little more complicated. Scott Linch, managing partner of Forvis Mazars, and Bob Dunn, managing director of GF Data, an ACG company, join GrowthTV to share what the latest numbers show about the dealmaking environment and what’s ahead.
