It takes a special chemistry between companies and financial partners to be successful.

Built on sound investment principals, our firm has a track record of building great businesses and creating mutually successful relationships with founders and entrepreneurs. Our philosophy is simple: success comes from backing talented entrepreneurs who are strong leaders and creative thinkers. By collaborating with company management, Peterson Partners helps accelerate the growth of businesses to achieve desired results. Together, we can build companies of scale and enduring value.

We've found the following factors to be essential in fulfilling our promise of being a great partner to entrepreneurs:

  • Drawing on our experience in building high growth businesses
  • Establishing relationships of trust and confidence with the entrepreneur
  • Maintaining creativity and agility in structuring investments
  • Drawing on an influential network of partners and co-investors with relevant expertise
In April 2008, we closed our Fund V with approximately $115 million of committed capital. We're looking for talented, creative, out-of-the-box thinking executives with strong leadership skills and a desire to partner with a view of the long-term. Because Peterson Partners is less dependent on outside capital or third party investors' timetables and expectations, we are able to invest over a long time horizon in businesses we believe have longevity and the potential to grow. How does this translate to a CEO? It means that you will have one-on-one support from a partner. It also means opportunities don't languish in indecision. The accessibility of our senior management team opens doors to growth.
