Silver Peak Partners
About Silver Peak Partners
Silver Peak Partners, based in Denver, Colorado, is a private equity firm focused on small companies with $3 million to $10 million of EBITDA. We seek to partner with current company owners and managers to build investment value through operational improvements, strategic acquisitions, and pursuit of new growth opportunities.
Our principals have extensive backgrounds in acquiring and working with small companies. We have a network of operating advisors with over 150 years of combined management experience. Of equal importance, our firm is built around a team of professionals that understands small company dynamics and shares the values typical of the owners, founders, and managers of these types of firms, such as community, culture, loyalty, and legacy.
We are theme-based investors, seeking companies that operate in industry segments that are poised to benefit from global macro-trends and positive industry forces. Industries currently of interest include: infrastructure, environmental and recycling, aerospace and defense, niche/precision manufacturing, and agriculture.
