Spectrum Equity is a different kind of growth partner. No one-size-fits-all playbooks – we know that every company’s journey is unique, and we tailor our support to match.

Experience

We have 30+ years of experience across multiple sectors – making us uniquely able to identify patterns and see around corners.

Connection

Our portfolio company leaders are connected to an exceptionally curated network of experts across disciplines.

Culture

We work best with leaders who value humility, collaboration, and original – even contrarian – thinking.

Autonomy

Founders can expect hands-on, supportive partnerships. We work together to chart the right path to growth.

Your extended team: seasoned leaders who will work alongside you at every inflection point.

“We don’t come to our partners with playbooks – we start with curiosity. When my team is getting to know a CEO, founder, or management team, we’re building trust and credibility brick-by-brick – in both directions. ”

Coley Florance

Head of Talent

“It’s a two-way partnership. Spectrum’s Talent team isn’t just providing resources; they’re looking for my input, and putting my feedback to work.” +

Dena Singleton

CHRO, Kajabi

“My role is to help our portfolio companies find accelerated pathways to revenue growth. Often that’s through strategic direction and advice; other times deeper consulting is needed. No two projects are exactly the same, which is what I love most.”

Dan Kimball

CMO

“Spectrum’s experts fill the gaps on our growing leadership team – especially when it comes to legal, tax, and M&A. And as board members, they’re terrific problem-solving partners – they have great intuition and know exactly when to push.” +

Gautam Kumar

CFO, In Tandem

“We act as connectors, helping our portfolio leaders navigate the legal landscape, and facilitating a knowledgeable, engaging community of peers and experts. ”

Leah Palmer

Managing Director and General Counsel

“When I don’t know who to ask, I start with Spectrum. They’ve supported me through the big things and small– their legal team can invariably point me in the right direction, or connect me to the person who can.” +

Shannon Wheeler

General Counsel, Tenstreet

“We connect our companies with expert resources and our peer network to help them scale. We work with our entrepreneurs as a team, leveraging our experience to get to the right answer faster.”

Brian Regan

Managing Director and Chief Financial Officer

“From the start, Spectrum was integral in connecting me to the right people, including mentors at companies ‘ahead of us’ in terms of size or evolution. I’m now paying that forward with newer leaders – that’s the spirit Spectrum has fostered.” +
