Founded in Chicago in 1997, Prairie Capital is a private equity firm with a long and successful track record of scaling growth-oriented, lower middle market companies in partnership with talented founders and management teams. Since inception, Prairie has invested over $1 billion in 100+ platform companies. Prairie makes control equity investments in founder-owned companies that require company-building investments to evolve into scalable platforms capable of sustaining accelerated growth. Prairie’s target market has remained the same – founder/family-owned business in the lower middle market, and while we have demonstrated modest growth in our fund size over the years, they remain committed to their target market.
