Trident Equity Group
At Trident Equity Group, we’re on a mission to acquire, steward, and grow a single exceptional business—building on the foundation its founder has created while honoring the legacy that makes it special. Led by two seasoned operators and entrepreneurs, we bring a track record of scaling B2B services, executing operational turnarounds, and driving growth in complex markets. Backed by a network of experienced investors and advisors, we focus on essential, recession-resilient service companies. We’re not private equity. We take a hands-on, long-term approach, stepping into the owner’s seat with the intent to preserve culture, protect people, and invest deeply in the next phase of growth. Whether that’s expanding into new markets, introducing new capabilities, or adding complementary businesses over time, our goal is to position your company for decades of success—not just the next transaction. If you’re a founder thinking about what’s next, or know someone who is, we’d be happy to start a conversation. We also offer competitive referral fees for introductions that lead to a successful acquisition.
Trident Equity Group is a Chicago-based search fund focused on acquiring a single B2B service company, specifically targeting recession-resilient niches like regulatory compliance, financial services, and data center services.
