“I liked three things about BoardClic’s Board Evaluation: it had better questions than what we did, better user experience for everybody participating, and better reports. The reports are extremely valuable. We can now collect and report what is going on across all our portfolio companies, so we can compare and see where we have issues. BoardClic’s benchmarks are extremely helpful.”
– Jesper Isaksen, Partner, Head of Talent at FSN Capital

In private equity, value creation is directly tied to tangible company performance.

Governance as a Catalyst for Growth: What Private Equity Can Learn from the Public Markets
Governance has long been framed as a necessary constraint. A system of checks, controls and approvals designed to slow decisions down just enough to avoid mistakes. Grant Thornton’s Corporate Governance Review 2025 challenges that framing head-on.

That distinction matters, and particularly for Private Equity.
