Megabuyte CEOBarometer Podcast: December 2024 – Insights for UK Tech CEOs and Boards
Episode 61

Private equity had a strong showing too, with a 10% year-on-year rise in deals, driven largely by MBOs making a return after some time. Even the downtrodden venture capital sector had a good month, raising over £500m - its best month since May - thanks to increasingly clear AI drivers.
