Team celebrates quarter-century of success
and looks forward to continuing its leadership into the next
decade
Huron Capital Partners, LLC (“Huron”), a leading lower
middle-market private equity firm, is proud to announce its 25th
anniversary. Founded in Detroit in 1999, Huron has acquired more
than 275 companies through six control investment funds over the
past 25 years, managing over $2 billion in capital on behalf of a
diversified global investor base, including public and private
pension funds, insurance companies, endowments, foundations,
consultants and family offices.
Throughout the last quarter-century, Huron Founding Partners
Brian Demkowicz, Pete Mogk, and Mike Beauregard have built a
leading PE franchise in the lower-middle-market, led by an
outstanding investment team that has successfully invested across
multiple market cycles. In recognition of its achievements, during
the past year Huron has been recognized as one of the top
Founder-Friendly Investors by Inc. Magazine and ranked as one of
the top 50 investment firms by Bauer Rock Media Group / Grady
Campbell.
“I am extremely proud of our team and persistent success over
the past 25 years as our sector experience and resources have
deepened. Since inception, we have been passionate about partnering
with exceptional management teams to build premier businesses with
the goal of delivering attractive risk-adjusted returns,” said
Brian Demkowicz, Chairman and Founding Partner at Huron. “We are
deeply honored by the strong support of our long-standing investors
over these 25 years and appreciative of the confidence they have
entrusted in us. Above all, we are grateful for our exceptional
investment staff, management teams and Operating Partners that
provide the foundation for strong value creation within our
portfolio companies.”
As part of its succession strategy in 2021, Huron began the
process of elevating its current leadership team as part of a
multi-year plan designed to provide a strong foundation for
continued success. Huron is currently led by Managing Partner Jim
Mahoney who has led numerous successful investments for the firm
since 2007 and served on over a dozen Huron portfolio company
boards. The Founding Partners are active on Huron’s investment
committees and remain deeply committed to maximizing equity value
for Huron’s investors. The team manages several active flagship
funds as well as our critical services strategy, which combines our
successful buy-and-build ExecFactor® approach with our demonstrated
historical track record of investing in businesses providing
mission-critical services in the facility, infrastructure, and
residential services sectors where we have deep experience,
established playbooks, and a long history of partnering with
exceptional CEOs to build premier companies in the services
industry. We believe our sector-focused approach will strengthen
our ability to capitalize on current secular tailwinds and further
position us for continued success in our core markets.
“I believe Huron’s senior leadership team is well-positioned to
deliver strong returns and build upon our successful legacy as we
pursue our next phase of growth and prosperity,” said Huron
Managing Partner Jim Mahoney. “Our success continues to be driven
by our focus on two of our long-standing core tenets: ExecFactor®
programs and mission-critical services sector expertise, and our
deal pipeline is strong in these core areas.”
