We focus on identifying secular growth opportunities that result in share gains and primary market penetration. We partner with the industry insurgents, taking on the incumbents, and help them grow with our capital, market insights, and robust executive networks.

Partnership

Each opportunity is unique. We do not believe in a formula.

We take an individualized approach because each business has different needs. We are growth-oriented and committed to building businesses over the long term. We take the idea of partnership seriously and define our success by the success of our teams.

Achievements

Our consistent strategy has resulted in strong private equity performance rankings.

For the past three years, we have been included in the top five private equity firms on the HEC Paris–Dow Jones Performance Rankings. These rankings are a testament to the strength of our approach and strategy, as well as the remarkable talent across both our firm and portfolio companies. We are proud and honored to be recognized in the rankings which analyzed the performance of over 600 private equity firms globally.

Past performance is not indicative of future results. 2023 HEC Paris-Dow Jones Mid-Market Buyout Performance Ranking was awarded on March 6, 2024. The ranking evaluated performance data of 632 private equity firms and the 1241 funds they raised between 2010-2019. 2022 HEC Paris-Dow Jones Mid-Market Buyout Performance Ranking was awarded on March 9, 2023. The ranking evaluated performance data of 563 private equity firms and the 2021 funds they raised between 2009-2018. 2021 HEC - DowJones Private Equity Performance Ranking was awarded on January 24, 2022. The ranking evaluated performance data of 517 private equity firms and the 991 funds they raised between 2008-2017. Great Hill Partners did not provide any compensation to HEC Paris-Dow Jones to be considered for any of these rankings.
