- Platform_company abstract "A platform company is a company that a Private equity group (PEG) views—when investing through acquisition in a new industry or market space—as a starting point for follow-on acquisitions in the same area. At the time the PEG acquires the platform, they do not have an existing compatible company to combine it with that would yield synergies. Platform companies stand in contrast to “add-on” or “tuck-in” acquisitions, where synergies to an existing portfolio company exist. Estimates vary across sources, but add-ons constitute roughly 40-50% of PE buyout activity, making it critical for business owners who are thinking of taking a private equity investment to understand some of the strategic implications of both views. Add-on and tuck-in acquisitions are usually marketed by Boutique investment bank and considerably smaller companies so as to not dilute the culture of the platform. In academia, Platform companies are those that involve not only one company's technology or service but also an ecosystem of complements to it that are usually produced by a variety of businesses. As a result, becoming a platform leader requires different business and technology strategies than those needed to launch a successful stand-alone product.".
