Welcome to the final issue of The Inside Job for 2025 – a year defined not by collapse or recovery, but by discipline. As we close out this year, we’re reflecting on the key trends that shaped leadership, hiring, and capital movement in the mid-market tech space.

In this issue:

• Featured interview: Kit Kyte – a deep dive into leadership, momentum, and the crucial decisions that set high-performing businesses apart.
• Year-End Review: Hiring, Capital, and Discipline in 2025 – Ryan Henshaw, founder of Herringbone Search, shares insights from 2025’s senior hiring patterns, and we take a broader look at how private equity approached mid-market tech this year, shaping the strategies for 2026.

As we head into the new year, precision is the key theme. Whether it’s senior hiring, GTM execution, or how capital is being deployed, 2026 will demand clarity and control.

Thank you for your support and engagement in 2025. Wishing you a restful break and a focused start to the year ahead.
