Investors

Sterling Partners is a private equity firm founded by entrepreneurs. During the past 25 years the firm has invested in nearly 45 companies that span a variety of industry segments and stages of development. In each of its investments since its founding in 1983, Sterling Partners has applied a uniquely disciplined and selective approach that features close collaboration with its portfolio company partners to stimulate and sustain significant growth. More specifically, Sterling Partners’ long experience as well as the firm’s unique Business Value Accelerator (BVA) methodology helps entrepreneurs and business owners identify and seize opportunities for rapid and sustained momentum and strong competitive advantage.

Sterling Partners invests in companies like DRIFIRE and others that have strong business fundamentals. It then delivers to these investments the right tools and additional resources necessary to excel in today’s challenging business environment. Rather than operate the companies in which they invest, Sterling Partners serves as a resource for the management teams of its portfolio companies as they navigate for accelerated growth.

Sterling Partners’ team of operating and investing professionals has extensive backgrounds in sales, marketing, strategy, operations, finance, legal, and human resources. From these cumulative experiences, the firm has developed a proprietary approach that places a strong emphasis on developing and supporting management teams while providing companies with effective, best practices that enhance their existing core strengths.
