Welcome to NGP.
In 2015, our Founder, Brian O’Connor, was fresh off of exiting his own ETA journey.
By every measure, it was a success, but he saw room for improvement in the process of finding the right opportunity, leading effectively, and navigating a timely exit. He knew that if he could leverage his network to create a community backed by resources and infrastructure, he could help others achieve their goals.
Brian set out to create a different kind of firm. A place where partnership was at the core, and the experience of working together would help others become better leaders and better people.
Nearly a decade later, NGP is that place.
For those hoping to understand and prepare for a future in Entrepreneurship Through Acquisition, we have curated a unique opportunity to join our team for 10-weeks of experiential learning.

We nurture learning so that people continue to grow both personally and professionally.
