About Acadia Investment Partners
Acadia Investment Partners takes a disciplined, thesis-driven approach to investing in high-quality businesses across targeted sub-sectors of the industrial and technology economy. The firm partners directly with founders and experienced management teams, bringing flexible capital and a long-term orientation to compound growth and returns. Their investment criteria center on companies with $0-$30MM EBITDA, demonstrated track records, predictable and growing recurring revenue, and controllable, growth-focused value creation opportunities.
The firm operates across four core investment themes: Re-Industrialization of the U.S. (digitizing the infrastructure that powers the American industrial economy), Frontline Worker Productivity (developing essential technologies for frontline workers), Product Engineering and Design (accelerating physical and digital product innovation), and Vertical Systems of Record (mission-critical systems that run the backbone of the economy). Their team brings decades of hands-on business building experience drawn from leading private equity firms including CD&R, EQT, TPG, 3i, and Bridgepoint Group, as well as operating and board experience at companies like Epicor.
Acadia differentiates itself through its founder-partnership model, pairing scale operators with growth-stage companies to help them reach their full potential. Rather than taking a purely financial approach, the firm embeds operational expertise and leverages an extensive network of top-tier operators and advisors to drive value creation across its portfolio companies.
