Founded in 1996, Generation Partners is a private equity firm with $345 million of capital currently under management. Generation provides equity capital to growth companies through buyout and growth equity investments. Over the past 20 years, the firm’s principals have invested in over 50 companies and have generated a gross internal rate of return exceeding 50% per annum over this period.

Generation was founded to create a more “forward-looking” investment firm by combining extensive experience in growth-oriented private equity investments with information technology expertise. This remains the foundation of our firm as we seek out businesses that are using technology to lead change in their industries.

We target equity investments of $10 to $30 million and pursue both majority and minority equity positions in growth companies at various stages of development. We are long-term investors and have been involved in some of our companies for more than 10 years.

We invest primarily in three broadly-defined industry areas:

Within these areas, we frequently develop an investment theme and target specific sectors which we believe are poised to benefit from key secular trends.

We are more than just investors, we are business builders. Our professionals have deep experience and are actively engaged in helping managers take their companies to the next level. We provide capital, strategic guidance, merger and acquisition expertise, management team building, financial market expertise, technology and systems assessment, executive coaching and access to a vast network of contacts.

Generation Partners has offices in Greenwich, Connecticut and San Francisco, California.
