Petra Capital Partners
Petra Capital Partners, based in Nashville, TN, has been a pioneer of the growth capital model, having invested more than $700 million in more than 100 high-growth private companies since we started in 1996. We are currently investing out of our fourth SBIC fund, closed in 2020, with $210 million of available capital. We invest up to $20 million of our own capital per company in non-control subordinated debt and/or preferred stock to high growth companies for expansion, acquisition, buyout or recapitalization, and can source additional capital through our network of co-investors and senior lending partners. Companies must have at least $10 million in revenue and positive ebitda at the time of investment. We focus on business services, tech-enabled services and healthcare services companies.
Petra Capital Partners is a Nashville-based growth equity and subordinated debt investor deploying $5–20M checks into healthcare services, business services, and tech-enabled services platforms via buyouts, recapitalisations, and platform buy-and-build strategies. They have no identified dental holdings but are an active healthcare-services platform acquirer with clear mandate and capital to back or acquire a dental services platform.
Petra Capital Partners is a Nashville-based growth equity / SBIC fund explicitly focused on healthcare services, business services, and tech-enabled services, with documented platform buy-and-build transactions, buyouts, and healthcare portfolio companies (hospice, home health, vascular, mental health, pharmacy, dietitian services), making them a credible platform acquirer of healthcare-services businesses including dental.
