Bridging the legacy
to the future
Next Generation Partners
Next Generation Partners (NGP) is a group of three former entrepreneurs who have teamed up to acquire a portfolio of small businesses. We each have had success starting, building, and exiting one or more companies. Each NGP partner also has experience acquiring companies. Backed by our own capital, our investment and management decisions are not subject to approvals or requirements of limited partners.
​
We target established, profitable small companies that have succeeded for decades and have owners ready for the next generation to continue their legacy.
NGP takes an active role in its portfolio companies. Leveraging the capabilities of our team, we partner with existing management and sometimes a remaining owner to continue the owner's legacy and work towards taking the company to the next level.
