Southport plans to acquire companies with agentic workflow platforms and AI automation applications.
“• Enterprise AI Applications and Workflow Automation. Enterprise adoption of artificial intelligence is shifting from experimentation toward production deployments that improve productivity, reduce costs and automate complex business processes. According to Grand View Research, the global AI automation market is projected to reach $1,144.8 billion by 2033, representing a compound annual growth rate of 31.4% from 2026 to 2033. We will focus on companies that own important customer workflows rather than businesses offering undifferentiated interfaces to third-party models, including agentic workflow platforms, industry-specific AI applications, customer service automation, sales and marketing intelligence, finance, legal and human resources automation, software development and technical operations, and financial services applications such as lending automation, fraud detection, underwriting intelligence and regulatory compliance. We believe the most attractive companies will demonstrate strong retention, clear customer economics, deep integration into existing systems and defensibility beyond access to a foundation model.”
