Digital & Technology Advisory for Private Equity
Barlow Capital Advisory helps PE funds undertake confirmatory due diligence, review and transform the technology function of their portfolio companies — through the first 100 days and beyond.
What we do
Confirmatory due diligence
Systems, data, cybersecurity and architecture reviewed against the deal thesis — red flags costed, not just flagged, before signing.
Post-close
A structured health check across the technology operating model — strategy, talent, applications, infrastructure, security, vendor and delivery.
Hold period
A prioritized 100-day roadmap and standing governance cadence that ties every technology initiative to a named value creation lever.
Our method
Days 1–30
Close urgent risk, verify backups and access controls, complete the systems and vendor inventory. Nothing here is optional.
Days 31–60
Convert the diagnostic into a board-ready roadmap, explicitly linked to the value creation plan, and get it approved.
Days 61–100
Execute the first prioritized initiative and land visible wins that build organizational confidence in the plan.
Why Barlow
01
No generalist IT consulting practice to cross-sell — every engagement is scoped to a deal thesis and a hold period.
02
Every red flag is quantified against timeline and IRR impact — not left as a qualitative caveat in an appendix.
03
Every recommendation traces to a named lever — cost, growth, risk, or buy-and-build — and is credited in the model.
04
A standing diagnostic framework and 100-day playbook that runs the same way on every platform and every bolt-on.
