TRUSTED AND RELIABLE PARTNER
Wellspring partners with highly qualified and motivated senior management teams, actively working together to unlock a company’s potential by providing ongoing financial, strategic and operational support. Wellspring has earned the reputation as a trusted and reliable partner. This preference is a result of the Firm’s differentiated and conservative approach to leverage, in addition to a transparent oversight model, which is driven by our small group of senior professionals and absence of bureaucracy. The Firm also has a long history of collaboration with entrepreneurs and closely held businesses in seeking to achieve outsized growth, with a large percentage of our portfolio companies being transitioned from founder ownership.
