Northspring understands the search fund model from the inside out. As former searchers, we know the challenges and opportunities firsthand. That's why we leverage our unique perspective to unlock value where others may struggle. Northspring brings together grit, capital, and ingenuity to create significant growth opportunities and financial returns in a corner of the market that's typically tough to invest in at scale.

A Unique Approach to Private Equity

Talented Searchers

We partner with a select group of elite search fund entrepreneurs, each with the commitment, grit and experience needed to grow a business exponentially. Our focus is to financially and developmentally support these entrepreneurs along their journey to acquire and transform a business, generating outsized returns for investors in the process.

Great Assets

We help searchers acquire businesses with solid foundations and untapped potential. By ensuring a smooth transition of business ownership, we maintain and build upon the legacy of the original founders. Our goal is to turn great companies into even greater ones, providing an elegant exit for business owners and exciting growth opportunities for new leadership.

Experienced Capital

At Northspring we support emerging business leaders with the right experience and private capital to enable thoughtful execution and timely closings. Our team of seasoned investors and former searchers provides strategic insights and connections as needed, serving as a partner and coach throughout the journey to success.

Unlocking Value in the Private Markets

Each of Northspring’s funds presents an opportunity to invest in a basket of companies that can unlock exceptional risk-adjusted returns through diversification and identification of high-growth businesses.

Historically, this end of the lower middle market has been opaque and difficult to access at scale. The search fund model provides investors with a compelling path to capitalize on these opportunities. Northspring's team brings a unique blend of experience in investing, entrepreneurship, and operations to guide and transform each investment.
