AI Pathfinder helps private equity firms make sense of AI, and make it work. Founded by Steve Budd, it’s a growing peer network built on insight, experience and connection. We bring the right people and ideas together to turn AI from something you’re curious about into something that delivers real results. 

What we do:
> AI Pathfinder Events: Connect with peers, hear candid stories, get hands-on with practical ideas, and leave with strategies you can apply immediately.
> AI Pathfinder Benchmarks: We track AI adoption across private equity through regular benchmark surveys and pulse checks across our network of 130+ PE firms and 300+ executives.
> AI Pathfinder Newsletter: Briefings, case studies, and insights on the AI developments shaping private equity, delivered to help you stay ahead of what matters.
> AI Pathfinder Podcast: Real conversations with executives, operators, and expert partners bringing AI in private equity to life.
