The Top Private Equity Firms of 2024

08.20.24

AWARDS

GrowthCap is pleased to announce The Top Private Equity Firms of 2024. Since
2013, we have been gathering information on growth investment firms focused on
private companies. To date, we have compiled data which enables us to create a
mosaic on each of the leading firms and select the ones who we consider to be
the best capital partners for CEOs and management teams. And as logic follows,
the best partners to companies tend to also be the best partners to LPs and to
those investors aspiring to work for elite firms.

Our focus is not on financial returns as we view returns as a lagging indicator.
Instead, we look to the qualities that enable a firm to consistently and
repeatedly create value for the portfolio companies they invest in. We evaluate
firm leadership, the composition of the overall organization, functional
capabilities, unique competitive advantages, and investment judgement, among
other factors. We also pay close attention to the culture and ethos of the firm
and evidence of a strong sense for social and environmental responsibility.
Notably, insights received directly from CEOs, LPs and investors in the industry
play heavily into our evaluations.

With the complexities inherent in private equity investing, no firm is perfect.
That said, we feel that these firms can be considered the best capital partners
for companies seeking to grow and scale over the long run.

Please join us in recognizing the accomplishments of the Top Private Equity
Firms of 2024.

BUSINESS CONTINUITY



GrowthCap Partners, LLC has developed a Business Continuity Plan on how we will
respond to events that significantly disrupt our business. Since the timing and
impact of disasters and disruptions is unpredictable, we will have to be
flexible in responding to actual events as they occur. With that in mind, we are
providing you with this information on our business continuity plan.

CONTACTING US

If after a significant business disruption you cannot contact us as you usually
do at (646) 679-1711, you should go to our website at www.growthcapadvisory.com.

OUR BUSINESS CONTINUITY PLAN

Our Business Continuity Plan addresses all areas affected by a business
disruption of any type, including data backup and recovery; financial and
operational assessments; alternative communications with clients, employees and
regulators; alternate physical location of employees; critical supplier,
contractor and bank impact; and regulatory reporting. Our Business Continuity
Plan is designed to enable us to recover and restore business operations as
quickly as possible, safeguard employees and property, protect the our books and
records, and assure clients prompt service through alternative offices.

We duplicate all critical firm, client, regulatory and financial information on
appropriate media, and store the backed-up information at remote locations. Such
information is regularly sent to off-site storage facilities. From time to time
we participates in disaster recovery exercises to confirm that such stored
information remains accurate and accessible to us. Among other things, we secure
and monitor our datacenter, regulate our data communication lines and maintain
and supervise password policies and procedures to limit access to our data.

We take advantage of the our multistate office system by providing alternate
locations from which our employees can temporarily perform essential business
functions in the event of a firm or community-wide disruption. The decision to
conduct operations from an alternate location will be made as soon as we
determine the severity of the business disruption. Provisions have also been
made for clients to continue to be able to contact our employees.
