A&M PEPI's Education and Education Technology (EdTech) Services

The Private Equity Performance Improvement (PEPI) practice within A&M drives tangible results across a spectrum of stakeholders: Our Education/EdTech services focuses on organizations within these sectors – whether publicly-traded, privately-held or not-for-profit – and their investors or other stakeholders. Our goal is always to maximize shareholder value within the context of the principles, mission, and values of each organization.

As a trusted partner to Education/EdTech organizations, we’re committed to unlocking the full potential of each organization to deliver value to its students, lifelong learners and other stakeholder groups. Typical engagements in our practice revolve around pre-acquisition assessments, post-acquisition planning or day-to-day performance improvement in an ongoing (i.e., non-transaction) environment. We strive to enhance the operations of each of our clients, so they are better positioned financially to deliver on promises to students and lifelong learners.

Our practice is built with former industry operators who have helped to run (and, in some instances, turn around) educational organizations. As a result, we come with a point of view that is informed by multiple experiences in this industry – and we are always ready to partner with management teams to help drive their vision forward.

Our work in education is steered by our collective experiences, comprising of working alongside influential thought leaders across the education landscape and making a positive, tangible impact. This collective expertise enables us to pioneer innovative solutions to education's most pressing challenges, benefiting our clients and improving educational outcomes.

How We're Helping to Move Education and EdTech Forward:

Advising Current and Prospective Investors in These Sectors

• We help investors assess and acquire Education and EdTech companies, whether it’s a private equity firm considering a potential new portfolio company, two publicly-traded companies contemplating a merger with one another, or any other type of transaction. Our practice also assists investors and their companies with synergy assessment and realization, integration planning and execution.
• When our investor clients look to exit certain portfolio investments, we help management prepare the organization for sale in many ways, including: self-scouting, working with management on organizational improvements and organizing an operational report for the benefit of the Buyer Universe.

Stabilizing and Transforming Education/EdTech Organizations

• We also assist organizations that are not in a transaction cycle through performance improvement (PI) assessment and execution. As a trusted partner to these clients, we help them improve operating performance and overall fiscal health – regardless of whether they are a for-profit or not-for-profit entity.

Enabling Innovation to Drive Student Success​​​​​​

• We help education investors channel funds into developing and testing new solutions that support student achievement.

Just as some of our colleagues within the firm may optimize distribution and logistics networks for the needs of tomorrow, our practice’s comprehensive offerings in Education and EdTech transform and drive tangible, impactful change throughout the education landscape.
