Growth Funding

Our Investors specialize in financing middle market IT businesses in which the shareholders & management teams have a commitment to stay, lead, and grow the business further and are seeking a partner who can contribute capital as well as global operational and strategic expertise. The key is to adopt our vision : grow “beyond-the-first-billion” in the shortest time possible. In addition to being able to provide capital to a transaction, we can also leverage our expertise with middle-market businesses to assist management in continuing to grow the Company organically, and if applicable, through acquisitions.
