Founded in 1990, Argosy Private Equity is a lower middle market private equity firm dedicated to growing and professionalizing U.S. manufacturing and business services companies, often family owned. Argosy has been partnering with companies for over 25 years, growing slowly and strategically over time. The Firm has been investing in the same size companies for over 25 years. Unlike many groups that grow out of the lower middle market, Argosy has dedicated its resources to the lower middle market. With this dedication, it has allowed them to build a powerful deal sourcing database of over 10,000 small intermediaries dedicated to the lower middle market. Over the course of two decades, these relationships have enabled the Firm to acquire companies, on average, at below market multiples.
