Olympus has truly demonstrated the value of a long-term approach to investing. They've been actively working with our management team to build the company for over 10 years now. With their help, we've been able to achieve a fivefold increase in our business over that time.

Olympus Partners is a private equity firm focused on middle market management buyouts and later stage venture capital deals. Founded in 1989, Olympus manages over $1.7 billion on behalf of corporate pension plans, public retirement systems, university endowment funds, and executives of Olympus' portfolio companies. The majority of our limited partners have been investors in Olympus funds for over 10 years. We are currently investing capital from our fourth fund, Olympus Growth Fund IV, a $757.5 million fund formed in July 2003.

While our fund size has steadily increased over the years, we have maintained a consistent investment strategy. We seek to form long-term partnerships with strong management teams and to work collaboratively with them to achieve their companies’ growth objectives. Recognizing that the single most important determinant of a company’s success is management execution, we devote ourselves to providing the support our management teams need to maximize their effectiveness and consequently, their companies’ value.

In order to devote as much time as possible to working with each of our portfolio companies, we purposely limit the number of investments we make to five or six each year and look to invest larger dollar amounts in each company. Our preferred investment size ranges from $10 million for venture capital deals to $150 million or more for buyouts.
