Excellere is pronounced “ex-cell-ear” The Excellere founders shared a vision to
create a new kind of private equity firm born from a deep respect for
entrepreneurs and business leaders. From our inception, we wanted to build an
exceptional private equity firm that could assist entrepreneurs build
exceptional businesses. To accomplish this, we needed a differentiated business
model. Prior to forming Excellere, our core team worked together at another well
regarded middle market private equity firm. There we began sharing our mutual
admiration and respect for the entrepreneur and our belief that building
smaller, high-growth companies into larger industry leaders demanded unique
skills and capabilities. We saw that existing private equity business models
underserved entrepreneurs and their companies and that there was a profound
opportunity for us to fill this void by building a firm that was highly
differentiated and special. We launched Excellere in 2006, raising capital from
large institutional investors with long-term investment horizons and interest in
supporting rapidly growing companies. Almost all of these original investors
continue to be our partners today. Over time, we believe that Excellere’s
success will be measured by the success of the companies we support and the
enduring legacy we create together.
