Vedere Ventures

Private Investment Firm Covington, United States ·Founded 2016

Overview

Vedere Ventures is a private investment firm that focuses on partnering with growth-ready companies in the fitness technology sector. They invest in businesses with existing revenue, seeking control or majority ownership positions to drive meaningful, hands-on change. Their investment thesis centers on backing companies where technology and systems can drive scale, customer experience is a differentiator, and leadership is eager to grow but needs a trusted partner to get there. Vedere Ventures emphasizes long-term value creation over short-term arbitrage, aiming to build around the goals of the companies they invest in. Their core values include transparency, partnership, operational excellence, and sustainable growth. They look for companies with annual revenues between $2 million and $25 million, an EBITDA margin of 10% or more, and a preference for founder-led businesses, succession planning, carve-outs, or restructuring situations. Geographically, they focus on North America but are open to global expansion opportunities. Over the past decade, Vedere Ventures has led and exited multiple high-growth ventures across the fitness, technology, and wellness sectors. They have helped scale a fitness technology company from startup to global distribution across 60+ countries and advised on M&A transactions totaling over $150 million in value. Their operational transformations have increased EBITDA margins by 25–40% within 24 months, demonstrating their commitment to creating lasting enterprise value for their portfolio companies.
