About Ballast Point Partners
Steady hands for the whole voyage.
Since 2001, Ballast Point Partners has provided expansion capital to established but rapidly growing private companies across the Southeast US and Texas — taking minority positions and partnering with founders, never taking control.
Who We Are
100% dedicated to helping founders realize their dreams.
Ballast Point Partners is a Tampa, Florida growth equity firm. Our principals have spent their careers building and investing in outstanding companies, and we view that long industry experience as the means for helping a company with a proven business model accelerate its growth.
We provide expansion capital of $10M–$50M to rapidly growing companies in software, tech-enabled services, and healthcare. We take minority positions — we don’t buy control of your business or tell you how to run it. When you partner with us, our expertise goes to work, investing in you and supporting you with a trusted, knowledgeable, skilled team.
“We know there will be bumps along the way. If you call us with a problem, we’re going to help you get through it. Together, we’ve got this.”

Network
We leverage an extensive network of executive talent, service providers, and industry experts — and make the right introductions at the right time, so our entrepreneurs can talk to anyone they need to.
Capital
Whether you’re raising equity for growth, acquisitions, or shareholder liquidity, we have the financial resources to accelerate your growth and substantially increase the value of your business.
What We Look For
Great entrepreneurs build great businesses.
We invest in outstanding companies that use proven economic models and are led by experienced, focused management teams — teams with deep domain and management expertise, a burning drive to succeed, and a high level of integrity.
We look for the priorities we value most in the founders we back:
