The Ripe for Exit tab showing PE-backed companies as tombstone cards with a held-years gauge
Ripe for Exit: each company is shown as a deal tombstone.

Ripe for Exit

This tab lists PE-backed companies that have been held for roughly 5 to 10 years by a private equity or venture firm. That is a typical hold period, so these are the companies most likely to be sold next. The line at the top shows how many currently qualify.

Each tombstone card shows:

  • the company logo and name, with its sector
  • Backed by the current investor or investors
  • a gauge from 5 to 10 years with a marker at how long the company has been held, and Held 6 yrs · since 2020 underneath
  • a View profile link

The nearer the marker is to the right edge, the longer the hold.
