About EGP

One focus: building businesses that last.

Equity Growth Partners is a Chicago-based private investment firm that partners with business owners and management teams to create long-term value. We specialize in acquiring established businesses from owners planning to exit, and partnering with entrepreneurs who are ready to scale.

We are not a passive financial vehicle. We are operators who invest: bringing capital, operational expertise, strategic networks, and hands-on partnership to every company in our portfolio. As an AI-first company, we also help every business we work with build genuine AI literacy and adopt the right tools to compete in the modern economy.
