We build technology solutions for private equity.

Virtual Operating Partner

We posture ourselves as an extension of your deal team. We strive to get familiar with your approach to assets, your capital model, internal deal process, and staff, knowing that every private equity firm is different. This means investing our time with your associates from the ground up before engaging in deal flow, so we are complimenting your process and deal development approach.

Practitioner Based Advisory

RKON’s advisory approach is grounded in 20 years of hands-on IT transformation, cybersecurity, and management for hundreds of companies across all industries, backed by a world-class leadership team of practitioners. Through that experience, RKON has developed a set of principles, best practices, and financial models embodied in our repeatable “Quiet IT” playbook. RKON’s private equity practice was built on the back of this experience so we can advise and deliver a consistently well-balanced, high-value, cost-optimized outcome regardless of the deal stage.

Ethos-Based Approach

Our private equity partners appreciate advisory that merges real-world strategies, combined with real-world financials presented through the lens of the deal thesis. RKON consistently delivers a superior outcome with quantifiable value creation.
