FG1 Partners

FG1 Partners is a Dallas, Texas-based private equity firm that focuses on making opportunistic equity and debt investments in middle-market companies across a variety of industries. We seek to partner with management teams of successful companies and help implement value-creation ideas that will allow them to maximize their potential. The FG1 team has extensive operational backgrounds running real businesses from concept to monetization. Prior to starting FG1, the partners successfully monetized over $2.0 billion of start-up businesses to large-scale private equity firms (TPG, KKR, and Oaktree). As such, we invest with an operational mindset that aims to create a hands-on partnership where we can identify and implement value-creation ideas. FG1 seeks to partner with founders and owner-operators of lower-middle market businesses. We are positioned to assist well-managed businesses with executing latent value-creation opportunities. We are able to support flexible ownership transitions for founders, including a partial liquidity event that enables the owner/operator to participate in continued growth resulting from FG1’s investment.
