Overview
Heartland Growth Partners is a private, entrepreneur-led committed capital vehicle acquiring and operating businesses in the lower-middle market. The firm is backed by owner-operators of industrial companies, focusing on mid-sized industrial services and manufacturing businesses in the Midwest. Their approach involves inviting owners of complementary industrial businesses to co-invest as limited partners, providing portfolio companies with operational expertise, strategic guidance, and access to new markets. This model combines capital and hands-on expertise to help businesses unlock their potential. The firm's investment criteria include targeting privately held businesses with enterprise values under $100 million, equity investments ranging from $5 million to $30 million, and revenues between $10 million and $100 million. They focus on industries such as infrastructure services, industrial services, niche manufacturing, value-added distribution, transportation & logistics, and general industrial sectors. Heartland Growth Partners is actively acquiring mid-sized industrial services and manufacturing businesses in the Midwest, with a particular emphasis on companies generating $2 million to $10 million in EBITDA. Heartland Growth Partners spun out of Heartland Ventures, a $100 million venture capital firm whose hundreds of business-owner limited partners are among the pool of potential investors for Heartland’s future investments. This relationship provides portfolio companies with access to technology insights that can help them make smart decisions about cutting-edge advancements in automation, AI, and industrial software to scale more efficiently. The firm's unique approach aims to create a deeper, more lasting impact by involving industry peers who each have a personal stake in the company’s success, aligning with their commitment to preserving the legacy of the businesses they acquire while guiding them toward future growth and success.
