Spencer Ledwith's Company Details

Our ExperienceHeadquartered in Coral Gables, Florida and founded in 1981, Trivest is the oldest private investment firm in the Southeastern U.S. For over four decades, Trivest has invested exclusively in lower middle market businesses, completing over 300 investments that total more than $7 billion in value.Founder-FocusedWhile private equity plays a critical role in the global M&A marketplace, our industry often has a negative perception in the minds of founders. Unfortunately, sometimes this perception is reality. As a result, we have built our entire business around providing ownership transitions specifically designed to fit the needs of founders/entrepreneurs, and Trivest works hard to ensure their ideals and philosophies are not compromised.TransparencyOur company-first approach brings highly differentiated and flexible options to business owners. We provide a fair, transparent process that eliminates the usual pain points that arise when dealing with private equity firms and/or strategic acquirers. We call this "Just Say No." As a testament to our relationship focus, more than 40 founders who have previously partnered with Trivest have invested their own capital in our funds.Extensive ResourcesTrivest has three distinct investment strategies. We are currently investing from our sixth institutional equity fund, Trivest Fund VI, with $630 million of committed capital for control investments. We also have a dedicated non-control fund, Trivest Growth Investment Fund II (TGIF), with $435 million of committed capital. Trivest Discovery Fund is a $235 million fund supporting small but profitable companies within fragmented industries.Trivest is well positioned to expeditiously partner with your business for its next stage of growth and development.
