Lock 8 Partners

Lock 8 Partners is a leading lower middle-market investment firm focused exclusively on privately held B2B SaaS and tech-enabled services companies. Lock 8 acquires businesses with proven products that solve demonstrated market needs and help them achieve success at scale by providing capital, new senior leadership, and operational expertise. Through Lock 8's operating experience, the firm has developed a proven but adaptable framework for growing businesses, which it leverages to deliver coaching, resources, and actionable support to portfolio companies. Our investment thesis focuses on sourcing below-the-radar companies that have solid products and stable businesses, but which have generally under-indexed in their go-to-market efforts. We avoid hyper-competitive bidding situations and seek to build value in investments by deploying a proven and replicable operating model developed over two decades (and counting). We work with owner-operators who are looking for attractive options to help their businesses scale.
