The firm focuses on investing in businesses that are within the growth stage of their life cycle. They provide these growing companies with the capital necessary for funding organic growth and acquisitions. Driehaus Private Equity targets companies delivering a quantifiable and identifiable value proposition to a stable market segment that has adopted the product.

Their investment thesis is centered around selecting businesses that are already generating revenue and strong gross profit margins, operating at or near profitability but are not generating sufficient cash flow to fund their expansion and continued growth. They offer more than just capital; they collaborate with management to plan, execute, and monitor a company's growth strategy. Their expertise in royalties and a specialty in the acquisition market sets them apart, as they are adept at identifying potential in businesses and helping them scale effectively. As a private equity fund, Driehaus Private Equity has positioned itself as a critical capital provider to businesses in pivotal growth phases, particularly those seeking an experienced partner to navigate the complex landscape of expanding operations and market presence.
