Trivest is proud to be known as a leading private equity source for founder and family-owned businesses since 1981. We’ve flipped the typical private equity infrastructure to place the interests of founders where they rightfully belong: at the forefront of our philosophy.
Trivest is one of the only private equity firms in the United States that focuses exclusively on founder-owned businesses. And as the oldest private equity firm in the Southeastern United States, we understand the need to leave a lasting legacy behind.
Creating Value for Founders
While private equity investments are often rooted in a need for financial capital, a Trivest investment also provides founders with the tools they need to be successful. Trivest celebrates founders and preserves their company culture to create a lasting legacy.
How We Are Different
It’s our job to elevate your business, not to change it. As opposed to parachuting in team members to dictate your day-to-day, Trivest serves as active board members that allow management teams the flexibility to operate. We offer private equity solutions that allow you to remain in the driver’s seat throughout our partnership, providing founder and family owned businesses with the capital needed to accelerate their growth.
If you’re looking for a fair and honest partner in growth, then Trivest could be the right fit for your company. Our dedicated teams partner with you to grow your company, utilizing our financial capital and network of resources to build a stronger business with lasting value. As opposed to stripping your company of its identity, we join forces to amplify your voice in the marketplace.
Our investments go beyond financial capital to transform founder and family-owned businesses into profitable, long-standing companies. Here’s how we help:
