What is Concentric Equity Partners?

Concentric Equity Partners, the direct investing arm of Financial Investments Corporation (FIC), is a corporate sponsored private equity firm backed by ServiceMaster Company and over 40 individual operating executives from service-related industries. With over $650 million in private equity commitments under management, they target sectors such as Business Services, Consumer Services, Financial Services, and Healthcare Services.

Concentric Equity Partners engaged in an initial captive corporate venture fund on behalf of ServiceMaster in 1995, completing seven strategic investments. They pursue growth investments, management buyouts, and later stage venture capital investments.

Historically, their equity investment sizes ranged from $5 million to $100 million, with a typical range per project of $10 million to $30 million. However, the fund specifies a minimum of $1.1 million and a maximum of $15.2 million for investments.

The firm distinguishes itself as an 'Activist Venture Fund' and prides itself on being united by difference. They have adapted this stance by partnering with sector-defining founders across Europe, aiming to create disruptive new technologies that address significant issues.

Concentric fosters close, actively personal relationships with partners to drive opportunity, innovation, and scale. Emphasizing a hands-on approach by leveraging a network of experts, they offer a bespoke service tailored to the diverse needs of their portfolio.

The firm operates with a progressive world-view and pioneering ambition to make a meaningful difference, while their flexible approach ensures adaptability to various opportunities. They also engage in what they call 'Activist Partnerships' wherein they provide market insights, facilitate key introductions, and actively support their founders beyond financial investment.
