The industries they invest in are diverse and encompass Software (including Web, Marketplace, SaaS), IT and TMT (Technology, Media, and Telecommunications), Media, Education, Business Solutions, HealthTech (including Fitness), Food & Beverage, and Logistics (including Distribution). SGP prides itself on partnering with companies to expand on their strong foundations, aiming to raise the bar for clients and employees alike, as evidenced by testimonials from partner firms. Their strategic involvement is exemplified by significant appointments within portfolio companies, such as CEOs and Board Chairpersons, as well as by acquisitions that enhance the technological capabilities and service offerings of these firms. Stone-Goff Partners takes an active role in portfolio operations, as they have recently added a Vice President, Portfolio Operations, to drive operational efficiencies.
