A different kind of private equity partner.
NorthCurrent Partners is a family office-backed firm that invests in and grows American businesses through majority-control partnerships. Because our roots are in a family business that grew, scaled, and ultimately sold to private equity, we understand the personal side of these decisions — the responsibility founders feel to their teams, their vision, and their legacy.
That perspective shapes how we invest. We offer certainty, flexibility, and speed, paired with a long-term commitment to growth.

What Our Partners Say
If we need it, they’ve got it.
John CunnighamHVAC & Plumbing Unlimited
“Partnering with NorthCurrent was the right move for our family-owned business. For more than 20 years, three generations of our family have worked hard to build a company rooted in values and integrity. When the time came to bring on a partner, it was important to us to find one that would help us continue to deliver the same level of quality and service our customers have come to expect. NorthCurrent has provided endless resources and support, allowing us to focus on what matters most — growing the company and taking care of our customers. If we need it, they’ve got it. I couldn’t be happier with the decision we made and look forward to continuing to grow alongside a trusted partner like NorthCurrent.”

“When we partnered with NorthCurrent in 2022, it was a difficult decision. As a family-owned business, we’ve always cared deeply about our employees and customers, and we wanted to be sure that wouldn’t change. Nearly four years later, we couldn’t be happier. The partnership has allowed us to grow while staying true to our values. We’ve been able to offer better benefits to our team, and our customers continue to receive the same level of service they’ve always known. We’ve grown the business significantly through our partnership, and just as importantly, we’ve done it without losing what matters most to us.”
