Nextgen Growth Partners, LLC

NextGen Growth Partners manages a series of pooled private investment vehicles structured as limited partnerships, providing discretionary investment management to those funds and their general partners. The firm concentrates on private equity and equity‑related control investments in EBITDA‑positive lower‑middle‑market companies, typically pursuing buyouts of businesses in the approximately $1 million to $5 million EBITDA range.

NextGen follows an operator‑led approach that pairs CEOs‑in‑Residence or Executives‑in‑Search with its investment team to source transactions, execute deals, and drive post‑acquisition operational improvements. The firm emphasizes proprietary sourcing and active, concentrated portfolio management supported by an internal Operations Group and co‑investment arrangements.

Noteworthy aspects include the firm’s routine use of side letters that can grant certain investors bespoke rights (for example, reporting, co‑investment access, or fee concessions) without requiring disclosure to other limited partners. The firm also enters management agreements with portfolio companies that generate operating fees payable to its Operations Group (treated as partnership expenses rather than automatically offsetting fund management fees) and maintains formal policies addressing emerging technology risks such as AI.
