ABOUT US
Generating growth, together.
We’ve created an ecosystem that empowers entrepreneurs to acquire great companies that are poised for growth and will undoubtedly thrive for generations to come.
How it all started.
NextGen Growth Partners was founded in Chicago in 2016 on the belief that there is tremendous potential to unlock value in small businesses.
Our team knew there was a better, more efficient way to acquire and grow small businesses and that’s where our process was born. Early on, the firm was capitalized by initial investors and advisors who provided much more than capital—they offered their networks, expertise, and invaluable guidance, which has become the foundation for our investor base today. Today, we continue to maintain deep ties to the Booth and Kellogg communities and alumni bases in Chicago and prioritize partnering with the city’s best and brightest business leaders.
OUR GUIDING PRINCIPLES & VALUES
Care and communication over egos and siloes.
Experimentation and feedback over hesitation and defensiveness.

Meet the people that make it all happen.
We don’t just invest in businesses. We invest in people that we believe in. Our model works because our team is made of passionate, talented, experienced individuals working together.
