PIONEERS OF THE GROWTH CAPITAL MODEL
“Petra came up with a creative solution to lead a group of investors to invest in a nontraditional way. We’ve never done anything like that before and didn’t think it fit our profile, but Petra showed a lot of leadership in making it happen, and we all benefitted from it.”
Mike Simmons
Former CEO, T2 Systems
“What really struck me is that Petra is the kind of investment firm that actually cares about its companies having a strong culture, doing well by doing good, adopting the customer’s priorities as their own, and invests because of the strong culture in its companies, not in-spite of it.”
Scott Francis
Chief Executive Officer, BP3 Global
“Most private equity firms are made up of finance guys, but it’s pretty rare to find people who understand finance and the operational “people side” of running a business. They are creative in the way they approach a challenge.”
Jeff Freedman
Former CEO, Salveo Specialty Pharmacy
“Petra is creative and flexibility is one of their selling points. At the time I wasn’t sure I believed it, but when we needed it, they came through!”
David Gasmire
Former CEO, New Century Hospice
Former CEO, Specialty Care
REAL PEOPLE, REAL PARTNERS
WE INVEST PERSONALLY AND PROFESSIONALLY IN MANAGEMENT
Petra partners with seasoned and emerging executives to launch new platform companies. With the support of Petra’s capital to make acquisitions and grow organically, Petra partners with these entrepreneur executives to rapidly scale their businesses and position them for a successful exit.
We enjoy participating in intermediary-led processes and believe our combination of debt and equity capital makes us competitive from a pricing perspective. Oftentimes, we are able to deploy debt before traditional lenders and help current owners retain more ownership.
We partner with a limited number of co-investors who share our vision for providing creative solutions to portfolio companies. We are the perfect solution to “fill-in” holes in the capital structure.
