Weston Presidio Capital

Weston Presidio Capital was a prominent private equity firm established in 1991, with offices historically located in Boston and San Francisco. The firm specialized in growth equity and leveraged buyout investments, targeting a diverse range of sectors within the United States. Their investment strategy focused on partnering with management teams to build strong, market-leading companies, often providing capital for expansion, acquisitions, or recapitalizations.

During its active investment period, Weston Presidio Capital was known for its significant capital deployment. For instance, their fifth fund, Weston Presidio V, successfully closed in 2007 with capital commitments totaling $1.2 billion. Historically, the firm typically invested between $20 million and $100 million in companies with revenues ranging from $20 million to $500 million. Their portfolio spanned industries such as consumer products, retail, business services, media, healthcare, manufacturing, and technology, demonstrating a broad and flexible investment mandate.

However, Weston Presidio Capital effectively ceased making new investments around 2010-2011, following challenges in raising a successor fund to Weston Presidio V. While the firm continues to exist to manage its legacy portfolio and realize value from its existing investments, it is no longer an active participant in new capital deployment or making first-time investments in startups or growth-stage companies. Therefore, any current inquiry regarding typical check sizes for new deals would not apply to Weston Presidio Capital.
