Ampersand leads with superior, consistent long-term performance.

This result reflects the five key elements of our differentiated investment style:

		We focus on only two sectors: Healthcare and Industrial. Unless our team’s experience gives us a competitive advantage in evaluating an investment opportunity and helping build the resulting portfolio company, we won’t invest.
		We emphasize later stage growth equity opportunities. This emphasis is the result of Ampersand’s continual self-examination regarding what we do best.
		We prefer to be the first, usually the sole, institutional investor. This allows us to play a major role in helping shape our portfolio companies.
		We have a unique blend of venture, private equity and operating skills. Our Partners have had 80+ years of operating experience prior to joining the firm and 80+ years of shared private equity experience at the firm.
		We work as a team to develop our portfolio companies. We actively collaborate with CEOs to build value by driving revenues, improving operations, making complementary acquisitions and generating liquidity.
