At Future Standard, we believe the U.S. middle market is more than an investment segment, it’s the entrepreneurial engine of the economy. Our latest research, in partnership with the National Center for the Middle Market, explores how private equity is shaping growth, strategy and sentiment across this dynamic space.

Here’s what we uncovered:
• PE-backed firms grow revenue and headcount faster than their peers.
• Executives cite stronger strategic planning, faster decision-making and better access to capital.
• PE-backed firms remain resolutely optimistic about the future but prepared for a disruption.
