Independent sponsor & long-term holding company

A permanent home for durable B2B services businesses.

Persistent Ventures acquires, operates, and grows enduring B2B services businesses — and holds them. We are hands-on owners, not a roll-up looking for a quick exit.

Who we are

We buy good businesses and keep them.

Persistent Ventures is an independent sponsor and long-term holding company. We look for well-run B2B services businesses in specialized niches — companies that customers depend on and that have room to get better — and we commit to owning them for the long haul.

Most owners with a durable business face a hard choice: sell to someone who will strip it for parts, or hold on indefinitely with no path to transition. We offer a third option — a patient, hands-on owner who steps in, protects what works, and invests to grow it responsibly.

What we acquire

The kind of company we look for.

Our profile is narrow on purpose. We concentrate where durability, expertise, and honest room to improve come together.

Recurring, repeatable need

Businesses customers come back to — where demand is built on genuine need, not one-off projects.

Specialized delivery

Work that takes real expertise to do well, in a defined vertical where reputation and know-how compound.

Loyal customers & teams

Long-standing relationships and experienced people who make the business what it is — and who we intend to keep.

Room to improve

Healthy companies with clear headroom to grow through better operations and thoughtful use of technology.

Why we're different

Persistent by design.

The name is the strategy. Everything below follows from holding for the long term instead of optimizing for an exit.

We hold for the long term

No fund clock, no forced exit. We buy to own and improve businesses for decades, not to flip them.

Continuity for your people

The team that built the business is the reason it works. We protect jobs, culture, and institutional knowledge.

Customer value first

Durable growth comes from serving customers better. We invest in the promise the business already keeps.

Operators, not just capital

We roll up our sleeves — bringing hands-on operating and technology experience, not a spreadsheet playbook.

Vertical depth

We focus on specific niches so we understand the work, the customers, and what genuinely improves the business.

Responsible growth

We grow at a pace the business can sustain, funding it from strength rather than leverage and pressure.

Where to start
