Who We Are
Ampersand traces its lineage to the early days of the private equity industry. Organized in 1969 as an internal technology-focused venture capital investment activity at PaineWebber, Ampersand was spun off in 1988. Today, we're a Boston-based, middle-market private equity firm focused on the Healthcare and Industrial sectors. We target later stage growth equity opportunities, where we can be the first institutional investor. Our unique blend of private equity and operating skills positions us to take an active teamwork approach to construct distinctive portfolios and drives our long-term performance.
