Our mission is to build exceptional companies that exceed customer expectations and set new standards of excellence in their industries. Core to our strategy is deep collaboration with founders and management teams to drive transformational growth.


Partnerships built on trust and empowerment of founders and management teams

Our goal is to support portfolio company founders and management teams as trusted Board members and advisors, while empowering them to lead and run their companies on a day-to-day basis. Insignia recognizes the tremendous amount of time and effort invested by founders and management teams to build their businesses, and we believe we have an unwavering responsibility to support our partner companies through the next stage of their growth. We are committed to building strong, lifelong relationships with our partners in any investment, and as a testament to the success of our approach, several executives with whom we have previously partnered have invested in our funds.

Investment structuring for growth

Insignia provides ownership transitions designed to fit the needs of founders and entrepreneurs, and we strive to ensure that the ideals and goals around which businesses were founded are not compromised. We seek to generate attractive investment returns driven by superior business performance, and not through financial engineering. We do not burden companies with excessive amounts of debt, but rather to use prudent levels of leverage that preserve flexibility for growth. We actively consider the objectives of all stakeholders, including employees, customers and shareholders, when structuring our investments.
