Spire Capital Partners L.P Revenue and Competitors

Founded in 2000, Spire Capital is an active and experienced private equity firm with an investment focus in small market companies within the business services, information services, media and communications sectors. Spire Capital seeks to lead small market buyout investments in its areas of expertise and believes its deep industry experience and network of relationships are invaluable in helping its portfolio companies to grow and succeed. Spire Capital currently has approximately $600 million in assets under management across two funds. The Principals\' complementary industry experiences, including investment management, operations, sales and marketing and investment banking, add value to portfolio companies through increased revenue opportunities, market knowledge, strategic relationships and senior management recruiting. The Principals have leveraged these experiences by assisting portfolio companies in raising capital, securing new contracts, establishing strategic relationships, acquiring add-on assets and recruiting management. Spire Capital deploys capital across a broad range of business services, information services and media and communications industries. These industries are extraordinarily deep and broad, consisting of numerous sub-sectors such as transaction processing, security services, database management, digital media, broadcasting, publishing, information services, wireless communications and cable television. In addition to these industries\' consistent growth over the past 20 years, regulatory change and technological innovation have resulted in a continuous stream of new entertainment, information services and communication services for residential and business consumers. Although business models within the industry segments vary widely, many are characterized by significant barriers to entry, recurring revenue streams and, therefore, predictable cash flow generation. In general, these industries have exhibited above-average revenue and earnings growth over differing business cycles, providing numerous opportunities for private equity investment. Spire Capital provides investors with a distinctive approach to the private equity industry through a combination of its limited partner base, its extensive industry relationships and experiences and its industry-focused, small market approach. The ability to source proprietary transactions within the business services, information services, media and communications industries, and directly impact positive investment outcomes, provides the opportunity to generate above-average risk-adjusted returns and distinguishes Spire from its peers in the private equity industry.
