Our Firm

Peterson Partners strives to be a reliable partner to entrepreneurs and business founders.

Generally the companies we work with have more than $5 million in revenues, are profitable, and are at an inflection point in their development. Peterson Partners supports the founder or entrepreneur to continue the company's growth by providing capital, developing strategy, supplementing the management team, and expanding the entrepreneur's network. We also back proven business leaders in acquisitions or management-led buyouts of high growth businesses. Our portfolio companies typically have some or all of the following characteristics:

  • Proven business models and positive cash flow
  • Talented management
  • Straight-forward competitive strategies
  • High operating margins that derive from a superior brand value proposition or advantaged positioning in a growing industry
  • Prospects for rapid organic growth and expansion via acquisition
  • Potential for improvements in strategy, sales, competitive positioning, capitalization or operations

Since 1995, Peterson Partners has invested in more than 50 portfolio companies. We are one of the few investment firms focused on backing businesses with revenues in excess of $5 million and equity needs from $2 million to $10 million.
