Parthenon Capital 2025 Year in Review

We remain on offense.

For over 25 years, Parthenon Capital ("Parthenon" or "we") has stayed focused on our Core Sectors and subsectors, collaborated with entrepreneurs and management teams and leveraged our experiences and resources to identify and move adroitly on opportunities in emerging and growth markets.

We think long-term and strategically and we don't get distracted by public market volatility nor the most recent headlines. We have a long history of building leading companies with strong outsourced value propositions in complex, regulated industries and supporting these companies to transform through technology, process redesign and automation. We are excited by the potential impact AI can have on these types of businesses and optimistic that our companies can bring deeper efficiencies to the industries they serve.

We are investing Fund VII, a $4.6 billion pool of capital, and targeting equity investments in the $100 million to $500 million range. We seek growth opportunities in our core sectors of financial services, healthcare solutions and business/tech services ("Core Sectors") and favor dynamic niches, consolidation opportunities, corporate carve-outs and other complicated situations.

Recent Highlights

  • 4 new platform investments
  • 31 add-on acquisitions at 11 portfolio companies
