AI in the private markets: Grappling with your first use case

In a rapidly transforming market, GPs face mounting pressure to do more with less—scale operations, manage risk, and grow AUM without adding headcount. With AI promising to be the silver bullet, where should firms begin?

In this special LinkedIn Live, Juniper Square's Brandon Sedloff sat down with Jonathan Balkin, Head of Private Equity and Credit at Alpha Alternatives, to cut through the noise and map a path forward for private market firms exploring AI.

Balkin shares his practical insights on:

  • From DDQs to deal memos, how AI is delivering ROI today

  • Why structured data and cross-functional collaboration are the real differentiators

  • How to avoid common pitfalls (hint: ChatGPT isn't a strategy)

  • What leading firms are doing to drive efficiency, accuracy, and scalability with AI

Whether you're AI-curious or already deploying tools, this conversation offers clear guidance on where to start and how to win.
