Fidelity Equity Partners Offices
As most private equity firms seek to make ever larger investments, Fidelity Equity Partners offers something that is becoming increasingly difficult for midsized companies to find – a combination of longer–term capital, expertise and access to extensive resources, both domestically and abroad.
Flexible Capital
Our fund investors permit us to be more flexible with our capital and adopt a longer–term view than most PE funds. We are not under pressure to exit early according to a fund–raising cycle, which means we have the flexibility required to maximize returns for all stakeholders.
Additionally, because of our committed capital structure, we do not need to do fund–raising. 100% of our time and attention is spent investing in and working with our portfolio companies.
Access to a Powerful Network
Whether you would benefit from new product ideas, feedback on business models and strategies, product positioning, channel or distribution support, or good old fashioned networking, our funding relationship with Fidelity and its broader group of companies allows us to access a vast global network of expertise and contacts to deliver a depth of resources that is unique in the world of private equity.
Experience and Expertise
Our executives have a proven track record of successfully helping businesses in North America and Europe overcome the challenges typically experienced during the high–growth phase including:
- Management team development
- Organizational development
- Refining strategic planning
- Effective initiative execution
- Commercializing new products and services
- Developing new markets
- Expanding operations internationally
- Exploiting information and communications systems
- Identifying and executing acquisitions
In addition, we are part of a larger private equity platform including Fidelity Ventures and Fidelity Asia Ventures. Through our close relationship with them, we can provide companies with an unparalleled range of expertise, insight and financing as they transition from one stage of funding to the next. We can also provide unique access to a broad network of contacts.
Conduit to New Business Opportunities
From its very beginnings, Fidelity as our investor has staked its competitive advantage on being an early adopter of technology. This commitment is demonstrated by the thousands of information and systems experts employed and the billions of dollars spent each year on maintaining and enhancing information and systems technology. It is this successful strategy of using information and communications systems to drive performance that inspired Fidelity Equity Partners to focus their investment strategy in small, high-growth companies that are doing the same.
In fact, it is not uncommon for us to identify meaningful synergies that result in business opportunities that go beyond the typical investment partner relationship. Through our introductions, Fidelity and its entities gain strategic value via exposure to new ideas and innovative solutions, while our portfolio companies gain critical insights, the potential to land a new customers or exposure to a robust and diverse distribution channel.

Outside of our relationship, this level of access and opportunity would likely be out of reach for a midsized company.
Global Reach
We believe that for many companies there exists a global opportunity, and therefore an investment partner with true global reach is paramount. With offices in Boston and London, as well as access to resources and contacts in countries around the globe, we are uniquely qualified to help midsized companies expand internationally.
Swift, Transparent Process
Our investment decisions are made by a small, empowered team of seasoned professionals who know how to get deals done. Our process is transparent and has been specifically engineered to expedite decisions in condensed timeframes. In addition, we are very flexible and can adapt our overall approach to fit the unique circumstances of each deal. Our overriding goal is to consistently achieve swift, highly-certain outcomes.
In essence, we uniquely provide the benefits of a powerful, diverse organization combined with the nimbleness of a small, entrepreneurially-minded company.
