Brighton Park is a research-driven investment firm focused on growth-stage software, information services, technology-enabled business services and healthcare IT companies. The firm’s partner group brings over 75 years’ cumulative experience leading, investing and working with high-growth technology companies – complemented by a robust Senior Advisor Group1 of C-level professionals from some of the world’s most successful and respected companies – providing extraordinary resources to help portfolio companies excel.
In November of 2020, Brighton Park completed the raise of $1.1 billion in capital commitments for its flagship fund, Brighton Park Capital Fund I, L.P. (“BPC I”). BPC I was oversubscribed and closed at its hard cap, marking one of the largest first-time North American private equity funds raised in the last five years.2 The firm’s limited partners include a diverse group of endowments and foundations, family offices, insurance companies and public and corporate pension funds from North America and around the world.
“We founded Brighton Park with the goal of leveraging our deep experience and domain expertise to become the leading, trusted resource for entrepreneurs and management teams looking to build world-class companies,” said Mark Dzialga, CEO and Managing Partner. “The successful close of our first eight investments is a testament to our team’s ability to marry deep investment acumen, operating expertise and long-term orientation to support the unique needs of our portfolio companies.”
“Entrepreneurs are looking for strategic, operational support to make their vision a reality,” said Mike Gregoire, Partner. “The experiences and relationships our team brings from their decades in software development, sales effectiveness, recruiting and product management will be instrumental in helping our portfolio companies establish and sustain global leadership positions in the markets they serve.”
“We are grateful to our Partners who have chosen to support Brighton Park as we build a next generation growth equity firm,” said Erica Keany Blob, Partner and Chief Operating Officer. “Our team has built a strong foundation for continued success, and we thank our investors for the confidence they have placed in us.”
Kirkland & Ellis LLP served as legal adviser for BPC I and Lazard served as placement agent for certain limited partners.
