Private Equity Dealmaking Activity

AI lab Equi Libre Technologies, founded by three former DeepMind researchers, has achieved a valuation exceeding $500 million, signaling strong investor interest in AI-driven ventures. This development comes as THL Partners continued its expansion in the healthcare sector with the acquisition of Clinical Trials Research by its portfolio company Headlands Research, a network of clinical trial sites. In a separate transaction, TSCP backed PestCo in its acquisition of Arrow Pest Control, a move that broadens Pest Co's pest control service offerings to residential and commercial clients.
