Deal announcements, that typically add value by placing deals in the broader market contextPeople movements between firmsEditorial content, often supported by interviews with key market participants, or other hard-to-access informationReal Deals hosts events for Mid-Market PE investment professionals across a number of formats including seminars / webinars, networking events, conferences and awards ceremonies.

Real Deals

has targeted the UK mid-market PE by developing an advertising, events and subscription business focused on GPs and service providers. The first step of the VCP is centred around upgrading and expanding the depth, breadth, accessibility and relevance of the news and editorial alongside expanding the different types of events (macro, micro, virtual, social/networking-based, training-based) to create compelling bundles at higher price point to penetrate further the marketing/training budgets of PE funds and service providers.In addition, scaling ‘The Drawdown’ (Real Deals’ other publication which was launched in 2020, and which targets mid- and back-office private equity professionals) is a significant opportunity as it taps into a different audience in the PE market, which appears to be less well served. As a next step in the VCP, we will explore the opportunity of building a data product, coupled with expanding the proposition to Europe through regional events and/or offering news subscriptions. As a further upside, Real Deals can seek to expand outside of Europe, either organically or by targeted bolt-ons. Growth can be accelerated via selected bolt-on acquisitions.The private equity (“PE”) asset class has grown significantly over the past 10 years and we expect that trend to continue. Mid-market private equity firms are increasingly willing and able to spend money on third-party providers that can help them find deals, find LPs and / or improve returns.The aim for the business is to take it from £4.5m in revenue (FY22) to £10-20m+ over the next 4-5 years.
