- Classification vs. private equity: Hawk Infinity describes itself as a 'privately owned, permanent company home' and a privately owned long-term owner/operator, which does not indicate a PE sponsor/fund structure (no finite-life fund and exit cycle evidenced in the sourced descriptions). Therefore this is treated as not private-equity-owned under the requested definition.
