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 invests in businesses with $3-10 million of EBITDA with substantial potential to grow.
Argosy Private Equity has been partnering with companies for over 25 years, growing slowly and strategically over time. We raised our first Fund in 1997 and since then we have built a portfolio spanning six funds, over 140 investments, and over $1.1 billion in assets under management as of June 30, 2025.[1]
To help our portfolio companies grow and scale, Argosy developed the Value Acceleration Methodology (VAM™), a proprietary strategic framework led by our Operating Partner team. Rooted in collaboration and execution, VAM™ equips management teams with the tools, network, and direction needed to professionalize operations and accelerate value creation. Our goals, and what VAMTM allows us to do, are to increase revenue, improve margins and professionalize the people, processes, and systems.
We believe we have created significant value for our investors. We have a track record of top quartile funds.[2] Over our total track record, our investors have realized or have a remaining fair value of a 3.8x net multiple on their invested capital.
