Growth Equity
Capital for technology businesses ready to scale
Minority and majority growth investments in profitable or near-profitable technology businesses with proven product-market fit and a clear path to $50M+ ARR. Check sizes $15M–$80M. We target B2B SaaS and tech-enabled service businesses at $5M–$35M ARR with strong net revenue retention, efficient unit economics, and a clear expansion opportunity we can help accelerate.
We are an active growth partner — not a passive capital provider. Portfolio companies receive operational support from former technology executives, introductions to enterprise customer prospects, and M&A execution support for tuck-in acquisitions.
Technology Buyout
Control acquisitions of established technology businesses
Majority control acquisitions of mature technology businesses — founder-owned companies pursuing succession, corporate divestitures, and platform builds for adjacent acquisition strategies. Check sizes $50M–$200M. Target profiles include enterprise software businesses with $10M+ EBITDA and mission-critical product positioning.
We bring operational resources, a proven M&A execution capability, and a long-term ownership orientation. RidgeForge buyout investments have access to our full operating partner network for management team augmentation, go-to-market restructuring, and platform expansion.
Venture Acceleration
Later-stage venture at the growth equity inflection
Series B and C investments in high-growth technology companies approaching the transition from venture to growth equity. Check sizes $5M–$30M. Target companies typically have $3M–$15M ARR with strong YoY growth and a product category that addresses an enterprise need with significant TAM.
RidgeForge venture acceleration investments bring a growth equity operator perspective to venture-stage companies — including unit economics discipline, go-to-market strategy support, and preparation for Series D rounds or strategic acquisition processes.
Strategic Holdings
Permanent capital for mission-critical technology
Long-duration ownership of technology businesses where a permanent capital structure produces better outcomes than a traditional PE exit cycle. Ideal for mission-critical vertical SaaS, infrastructure software, and data businesses that benefit from patient ownership and organic compounding rather than financial engineering.
RidgeForge Strategic Holdings investments operate under a 10–20 year ownership horizon with no mandatory exit. Portfolio companies retain management independence, receive capital for growth and M&A, and benefit from RidgeForge’s network without the pressure of an artificial exit timeline.
