Founded in 2014, NGP has offices in Chicago and Nashville. The firm's unique approach to investing involves partnering with talented entrepreneurs-in-residence (EIRs) to identify and acquire businesses with high growth potential. Once an investment is made, an EIR assumes a full-time management role within the company, creating liquidity for business owners while augmenting the existing team and continuing the success, and preserving the legacy of the business.

NGP's investment strategy focuses on outsourced B2B services businesses headquartered in the United States with revenues between $5MM and $50MM and EBITDA between $1.5MM and $7MM. The firm also considers add-on acquisitions and control investments in businesses with no size requirements. NGP's current portfolio includes companies in the managed IT services, asset-light 3PL, commercial refrigeration/HVAC, property management services, occupational health & workplace safety services, commercial cleaning, outsourced hospital/provider office services, fractional CFO services, outsourced healthcare compliance services, niche janitorial services, and mission-critical equipment service industries.

NGP differentiates itself from competitors through its unique partnership approach, committed capital, and experienced team. The firm's partnership with EIRs allows it to access a pipeline of high-quality deal flow and attract talented individuals to lead its portfolio companies. NGP's committed capital structure ensures that it can close transactions quickly and efficiently. The firm's experienced team has a deep understanding of the lower middle market and a proven track record of success.[/description][ps]Acquiring and building lower middle-market businesses in growing industries.[/ps]
