Fundraising & Deal Activity TJC announced a target of $8.5bn for its seventh Resolute Fund, signaling continued confidence in North America’s mid‑market despite a slowdown in larger buyouts. The fund’s mandate to back upper‑mid‑size platforms dovetails with Mill Point’s agreement to acquire Total Safety Supplies & Solutions, a move that expands the private‑equity sponsor’s industrial distribution footprint and adds roughly $150m of revenue from the safety‑products segment. Both transactions underscore a trend of sponsors deploying capital into niche, cash‑flow‑positive businesses as larger deal pipelines tighten.

Sector Funding Trends The week’s megadeals highlighted a surge in enterprise‑software, AI and space‑tech funding, with the top ten rounds collectively exceeding $2.3bn, reflecting persistent venture appetite for high‑growth tech despite broader market volatility. Meanwhile, Mutares secured a sale of Walor Precision Turning to Reed Capital, delivering an undisclosed premium that illustrates how automotive‑focused carve‑outs remain attractive to European sponsors seeking stable, engineering‑intensive assets. The parallel of robust venture inflows and strategic carve‑out exits indicates private equity’s dual focus on building new growth platforms while monetising mature, specialized manufacturers.
