  This week we brought together CEOs and leaders from across the Hg portfolio for our Silicon Valley Leadership Summit.   If last year was about AI immersion, this year was about transformation. The focus: what it takes to move from experimentation to real impact.   The Hg portfolio has scaled AI impact by 5x since last year's event. But the opportunity ahead is even bigger. Software businesses can now go beyond supporting workflows to delivering the work itself.   Chris Kindt, our Head of Value Creation, shares his takeaways from the week.

  We conclude a great few days in Silicon Valley - stepping away from the day-to-day and pressure-testing what AI transformation really means now. As I travel back, some takeaways from the week: Agentic AI is the non-negotiable in 2026. Model progress remains fast, taking on tasks increasingly independently. This means employees can get to new levels of leverage, but only if they operate differently, running threads in parallel. Kevin Weil warning against "sprinkling AI on existing processes" resonated: the winners will re-engineer operating models ground-up. Get agent ready: as AI accelerates tasks, new bottlenecks will swiftly emerge "unless you ready your processes end-to-end" (Elias Apel, Lucanet). Think about how code gets reviewed, how product requirements get defined, how GTM gets 'machine ready' (Varun Anand). Plan ahead - set up processes before accelerating. Talent and culture matter more than ever: "AI raises the floor for individuals, but the ceiling even more" (Russell Kaplan, Cognition). Your best people, with the right curious mindset, will be even more powerful this year. Innovation needs a new operating model: Top-down annual roadmaps cannot match technological pace. Eric Burns (Anthropic): "Product strategy will flip to feeding fleets of agents problems as fast as you can define them." The solution: 'smaller teams with deep customer intimacy, empowered to drive innovation' (Mark Moffat, IFS). The SaaS expansion: we have a significant opportunity to progress from supporting workflow to delivering tasks, and providing the platforms where agentic automation gets delivered. A new leadership imperative. The technology is ready - the real challenge is leading an organisation through this transformation (Chris Bayne, Access). Change management is tough - but the prize is ever-increasing acceleration as underlying models keep improving. The Hg portfolio scaled the impact we're seeing from AI by 5x since our previous summit last year, delivering material value acceleration. Still, it's hard not to come away feeling that much more will be possible this coming year. The momentum continues to build.

  The 2025 HEC Paris-DowJones Large Buyout Performance Ranking is out, and we're proud to see Hg ranked #5 worldwide - up from 12th last year.   The ranking evaluates 695 PE firms on aggregate fund performance, considering both relative and absolute returns across funds raised between 2012-2021. It's one of the most rigorous assessments of long-term value creation in our industry.   Hg is the only firm headquartered outside the US to rank in the top 10, which reflects the strength of our specialist approach to technology and services investing.    A huge thanks for the hard work of our teams across Europe and the US, our portfolio company leaders, and our LPs who've partnered with us on this journey.   More on the methodology and full results: https://lnkd.in/ehAGhBm4 For the latest on Hg and portfolio news, subscribe to our monthly updates: https://lnkd.in/eU53aUzy

  "The impact won't come from 'sprinkling AI' onto existing processes - it will come from rebuilding operating models ground-up and AI-first."   That was one early takeaway from the opening of our Silicon Valley Leadership Summit, where Nic Humphries sat down with Kevin Weil (former CPO, now VP Science at OpenAI).   Tomorrow brings together AI leaders from Cognition, Anthropic, Replit, and Clay alongside Hg portfolio CEOs - exploring where model progress takes us in 2026, what it takes to win as the ecosystem evolves, and how to rebuild functions AI-first. More highlights below.

  Hg's Executive Chair Nic Humphries has just wrapped a great discussion with Kevin Weil, former CPO now VP of Science at OpenAI. They explored what the next three years of AI development may hold - what that means for software, society, and the rapidly accelerating pace of scientific progress. A perfect way to kick off Hg's Silicon Valley Leadership Summit 2026. Two early takeaways: - The impact won't come from 'sprinkling AI' onto existing processes - it will come from rebuilding operating models ground-up and AI-first. - Your private data and domain expertise are a critical headstart, but not a moat. They only matter if you build on them. If last year's event was about AI Immersion Therapy, this year it is about transformation. We welcome back leaders from across the Hg portfolio, AI founders, VC investors, and West Coast ecosystem luminaries to look ahead and accelerate AI transformation across our businesses. An insightful line-up from Cognition, Replit, Conviction, Intercom, Anthropic, Reforge, Clay, alongside leaders from IFS, The Access Group, Lucanet, IRIS Software Group, A-LIGN, and Trackunit - exploring where model progress takes us in 2026, what it takes to win as the ecosystem evolves, how to build winning AI products and rebuild functions AI-first. Last year's summit sparked a 5x step-up in AI initiatives and impact. 2026 is about accelerating this transformation.

  “We can only see a short distance ahead, but we can see plenty there that needs to be done.” Professor Neil Lawrence, reflects on how meaningful innovation rarely comes from grand predictions. It comes from organisations focusing on the opportunities already within reach, and getting on with the work of transformation, piece by piece. That mindset sits at the heart of how we partner with software and services businesses, building capability steadily, backing long-term ambition, and creating companies that endure.

  Most AI transformations don’t fail because of technology. They fail because of culture. In our latest Orbit episode, Daniël Rood, Director of AI Go-To-Market at Google Cloud, describes what he calls the “corporate immune system”. These are the forces inside successful organisations that protect what already works and quietly resist what comes next. "That corporate immune system kicks in… a culture that protects success for all the right reasons, but resists dramatic shifts.” Daniël shares how he navigated this while building Google’s first European AI team, and why customer proof, not internal advocacy, is what ultimately unlocks leadership buy-in.
