Harren Equity Partners is a Charlottesville, Virginia based private investment firm and leading provider of equity for middle market acquisitions, recapitalizations and growth capital financings. Harren professionals work with each portfolio company to develop and/or implement a strategic business plan, and we support management by providing the operational, financial and human resources necessary to manage the increasingly complicated decisions associated with growing a business. Harren's approach to private investment is significantly differentiated from the strategy of other equity funds. Harren professionals have significant operational experience which includes having held direct operating roles in a number of manufacturing, service and distribution companies. This extensive, direct operational experience gives Harren professionals a first hand perspective on the unique issues that face growing, middle market businesses. As a result, the Harren staff places far more emphasis on sound operational execution and strategy than financial analysis and financial leverage. Harren has been the consistent choice of business owners who wish to find a partner with decades of experience growing mid-sized companies and a willingness to roll up their sleeves and work together with a management team in order to accomplish that growth.
