Our Focus is Helping Our Companies Achieve Their True Potential.
Olympus Partners is a private equity firm focused on providing equity capital for middle market buyouts and for companies needing capital for expansion. Olympus manages funds in excess of $8.5 billion mainly on behalf of corporate pension funds, endowment funds and state-sponsored retirement programs. Founded in 1988, Olympus is an active, long-term investor across a broad range of industries including business services, consumer products, healthcare services, financial services, industrial services and manufacturing.
We limit our new investment activity to only three or four new platforms each year in order to maximize the time spent working with each of our portfolio companies. Our preferred investment size ranges from $75 million for growth capital deals to over $500 million for buyouts. In addition to financial resources, Olympus offers several other critical benefits to help its management partners reach their goals.
