It partners with management teams to build companies addressing challenges across education, information, and training.

Co-founded by Jeffrey Leeds in 1993, the firm was established following his experience in mergers and acquisitions. The insight recognized an unmet need for specialized investment within nascent Knowledge Industries. This led to the creation of the first private equity firm exclusively focused on this sector.

Its vision is to remain the leading strategic capital partner, fostering the evolution and expansion of the global Knowledge Industries.
