Trivest Partners LP

Trivest Partners LP is a private equity firm focused exclusively on partnering with founder-led and family-owned businesses across North America, investing across a broad range of sectors including business services, consumer products and retail, healthcare, niche manufacturing, and value-added distribution. The firm pursues both control and non-control investments through four distinct fund strategies — including traditional buyouts, non-control partnerships, and search fund vehicles — deploying equity capital in management buyouts, recapitalizations, growth financings, and founder succession transactions in companies with EBITDA typically ranging from $4 million to $30 million and enterprise values between $20 million and $250 million. Trivest's differentiated "Just Say No" program is designed to eliminate common pain points that founders experience in private equity partnerships, including removing standard transaction conditions that can create uncertainty and friction during the sale process. The firm manages approximately $6 billion in assets under management and has completed investments in more than 500 companies since inception. Trivest invests across the United States and Canada. Founded in 1981 by Earl W. Powell, one of the oldest private equity firms in the southeastern United States, the firm is headquartered in Coral Gables, Florida, United States.
