What is Stone-Goff Partners, LLC?

Stone-Goff Partners, LLC (SGP) is a growth-oriented private equity firm based in New York and Boston, with expertise in equity investments. The firm's core investment philosophy centers on expanding established companies by leveraging private equity.

Specifically, Stone-Goff Partners invests in technology-driven service businesses, emphasizing firms that are enhanced by technology. Their primary focus areas include Business Services, Consulting Services, Marketing Services, IT Services, Outsourcing Services, and Human Capital & Training.

This specialization reflects their investment thesis, which values companies with a focus on a single end-market and those with subscription and recurring revenue streams, as these are seen as pathways to value creation. SGP's approach involves driving the evolution of businesses from service-oriented models to include product offerings, thereby amplifying their value propositions.

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.
