Our Partners
Our focus is on developing enduring and trusted partnerships that maximize value for all stakeholders involved.
We have cultivated a reputation to be recognized as a leading lower middle-market sector focused private equity firm that creates and nurtures partnerships between management and capital.
Through our rigorous investment process, we partner and align with business owners, sector leaders, intermediaries and co-investors to achieve outstanding returns.
Building Trusted Working Relationships with Leading Investors
We prioritize the long-term success of every enterprise we work with. This means we structure each transaction with a capital structure that can support growth and meet the challenges and opportunities of the company.
Additionally, we invest our own capital in every transaction and maintain long-term relationships with institutional capital sources and select family offices for co-investment opportunities.
We pride ourselves on our rigorous approach to building profitable, growth-oriented enterprises with a high probability of success. Our sector leaders work as hands-on partners throughout the entire concept development and acquisition process, all the way through to closing.
Furthermore, through our trusted relationships with sector leaders, Westmount Ventures deploys human capital talent in a variety of roles, including boards of directors, special advisors, and interim and permanent senior executive roles, for both portfolio organizations and beyond as needed.

As a transaction represents a significant personal inflection point, we provide you with the control and options to structure the transaction to meet your goals and pursue your personal and business future as you wish.
Many business owners with whom we work have a strong desire for the continued growth and success of their company and for the security of their employees. We are not financial buyers seeking to build value by subtraction; rather, we build value by growth, both organic growth and through acquisitions. With our commitment to the real growth of your business, you will have the security that your legacy will be protected and your employee’s futures secure.
With deep domain and operating expertise, we don’t have to learn. We understand the industry challenges and opportunities, and have developed an investment strategy uniquely tailored to the industry sector.
Each of our industry sectors is led by a world-class senior industry executive with extensive operating experience and a track record of building businesses and creating value within the sector. In working with Westmount, you work with operators; people who speak your language and have walked in your shoes. We also offer you the opportunity to reinvest a portion of the sale proceeds into the new company. Your choice.
