2026 GP/LP Technology Survey: The Cost of Looking Ordinary Just Got Higher

Published on: August 18, 2026

Private equity has officially entered a hyper-selective era. With slowing exits and pressured distributions, limited partners (LPs) are scrutinizing managers more closely, and capital is concentrating on firms that demonstrate institutional quality across all functions—especially technology.

But what actually makes a firm technologically "elite" in the eyes of investors?

To find out, Gen II Fund Services partnered with The Harris Poll to survey 205 senior GP and LP professionals.

Inside the Report: The Digital Transformation Disconnect

The findings reveal a perception gap between the technology GPs are investing in and the outcomes LPs actually care about. Downloading the full report will give you exclusive insights into:

  • The AI Disconnect: Discover why GPs and LPs have different views on the importance of artificial intelligence as a singular differentiator.
  • Redefining "Table Stakes": See the breakdown of which technological capabilities LPs now consider the baseline, and which are competitive advantages.
  • The Core LP Frustrations: Learn why merely meeting ILPA reporting timelines is no longer enough, and uncover the data delivery issues that are frustrating investors.
  • The True Markers of Eliteness: Find out what LPs rank as their highest priorities when evaluating a GP's infrastructure and workflow digitization.

Stop Guessing What LPs Want

The report goes beyond the hype to deliver actionable intelligence. It outlines the four pillars forward-looking GPs must prioritize to close the perception gap, prove their operational excellence, and win capital in a highly competitive market.
