We work with PE firms and their portfolio companies on AI strategy, data modernization, legacy modernization, and technology implementation — scoped around compressed timelines, board mandates, and measurable EBITDA outcomes. ### How does Cheesecake Labs support the 100-day plan? We run an AI Readiness Assessment across seven dimensions — from decision architecture and governance to data foundations, measurement, and culture — and turn it into a prioritized roadmap the operating team can execute within the first 100 days. ### Can Cheesecake Labs work across an entire portfolio? Yes. We support portfolio-wide programs — from a diligence-stage technology read on a target to parallel modernization and AI initiatives across several portfolio companies, with consistent reporting back to the deal team. ### How quickly can an engagement start? Typically within weeks. We staff embedded product and engineering squads that integrate with the portfolio company's team and tools, so value-creation work starts without a long ramp-up. ### How does Cheesecake Labs measure results? Against the value-creation thesis: EBITDA impact, operating-cost reduction, and exit readiness. Every initiative ships with baseline metrics and financial attribution, so the board sees measurable outcomes — not activity. ## FAQ ## Structured data ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","@id":"https://cheesecakelabs.com/industries/private-equity#breadcrumb","inLanguage":"en","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https://cheesecakelabs.com/"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Industries"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"name":"Private Equity"}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"FAQPage","@id":"https://cheesecakelabs.com/industries/private-equity#faq","inLanguage":"en","mainEntity":[{"@type":"Question","name":"What does Cheesecake Labs build for private equity firms?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"We work with PE firms and their portfolio companies on AI strategy, data modernization, legacy modernization, and technology implementation — scoped around compressed timelines, board mandates, and measurable EBITDA outcomes."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"How does Cheesecake Labs support the 100-day plan?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"We run an AI Readiness Assessment across seven dimensions — from decision architecture and governance to data foundations, measurement, and culture — and turn it into a prioritized roadmap the operating team can execute within the first 100 days."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Can Cheesecake Labs work across an entire portfolio?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Yes.
