Resurgens Technology Partners overview:

Resurgens is a software-focused private equity firm, founded in 2016 by experienced technology investors and operators with varied backgrounds that include HIG Capital, Accel-KKR, Bain & Company, and McKinsey & Co.

Since our founding in 2016, we have been highly active in the space, executing 20+ buyout investments across North America and Europe. We are currently investing out of our third fund ($800m) and are actively growing our team.

We are passionate about partnering with companies to identify, attack, and win at value creation opportunities across multiple growth levers. One of our key differentiators is our relentless commitment to creating the very best in-house operating capability for the benefit of our portfolio companies. We work hand-in-hand with the management team of the companies we acquire to provide strategic guidance; in fact, we pride ourselves on being a single team of investors and operators, working together in pursuit of outstanding outcomes.

To that end, we believe that the single best thing about our firm is its experienced, talented, fun, and highly ambitious team. We joined Resurgens because we wanted to be a part of building something that took a fresh approach on private equity investing with an unwavering desire to make a holistic impact on the markets, businesses, and people we touch. Since our founding seven years ago, we have built a strong track record and market presence, and most importantly, a brand that is rooted in uncompromising integrity, humility, and transparency.

As a growing firm, we value our time in-office, partnering around the table and at the whiteboard together. This allows for members at all levels to gain exposure to diverse areas of the business. We celebrate our wins and invest the time to get to know each other. Our annual retreats offer an opportunity to connect with each other outside of work; as proud Atlanta residents you can regularly find us at Hawks, Braves, and Atlanta United games, and we give back to the local community, supporting local causes via service days.
