In partnership with talented business owners and management teams, Prairie makes control equity investments in successful, growth-oriented, lower middle market companies. These companies have attractive market positions in industries with growing primary demand.
We target companies within our sectors of expertise including business services, healthcare, education, consumer, and industrial. We seek to be the company’s first private equity investor. We provide strategic and tactical assistance, along with company-building investments, to evolve these businesses into scalable platforms.

Our partnership approach seeks to ensure philosophical and economic alignment with business owners and management teams. The shared goal is to strategically invest to build and scale great companies.

We provide more than capital. Working intimately with our companies as a thought partner, we leverage experiences gained through our 20-year history and more than 90 platform investments to provide the resources and guidance necessary to enable companies to scale and thrive. We also share best practices across our portfolio and provide access to our extensive network of in-house and third-party resources. We actively participate at the board level, while providing management with the flexibility and autonomy to run the business and execute the mutually agreed-upon strategy.
