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. |
