Athenaeum Partners
Athenaeum Partners is a growth oriented investment fund formed with a long-term focus to invest in privately-held healthcare services, IT services, B2B services, and software businesses. The partners have deep operational and investment backgrounds specifically focused on family and founder-owned businesses. Athenaeum’s strategy as a firm is to partner with a single great business to build a sector-defining platform that outlast short-term cycles. We are not a traditional investment firm; as long-term, patient growth investors we do not have predetermined investment periods nor exit timelines. Our partners will join the executive team and be 100% focused on one company. Athenaeum is fortunate to be backed by a group of institutional capital sources and entrepreneurs (collectively managing over a $1 billion in capital) with proven track records in our targeted industries.
Athenaeum Partners is a permanent-capital investment fund based in Los Angeles that partners with a single founder- or family-owned business in healthcare services, IT services, B2B services, or software to build a sector-defining platform over an indefinite hold period, with the partners joining the executive team directly. Dental practices or DSO platforms fall squarely within their stated healthcare-services mandate, making them a plausible platform acquirer for SearchLoop deal flow.
Firm's own self-description explicitly states it is a growth-oriented investment fund targeting privately-held healthcare services businesses, using a permanent-capital / long-term hold model to build sector-defining platforms — a clear pe_sponsor / holdco mandate that encompasses healthcare-services platform acquisitions, making it a credible buyer of dental or healthcare-services platforms.
