Collaborative and Committed
Juggernaut has a family of funds representing over $1 billion of capital commitments
Founded in 2009, Juggernaut Capital Partners is a lower middle market private equity firm specializing in buyout and growth investments across the consumer and healthcare sectors. The Senior Investment Team has worked together for an average of 14 years at Juggernaut and prior firms and draws on more than 100 years of collective investment experience. Juggernaut has a family of funds representing over $1 billion of capital commitments and is currently investing out of JCP IV, a $419 million fund.
Our focused consumer investment strategy seeks to enhance brand recognition, market share and profitability by combining brands with related service companies into a distinctive, consumer-driven ecosystem. We have honed a consistent, disciplined and supportive approach to help our management team partners drive successful outcomes.
Our consistent approach and long-standing presence in the consumer product industry have given us the expertise to source proprietary opportunities. Services companies will recommend new or existing products or brands, while our brands will do the same with potential or existing services providers that fit our consumer ecosystem. This dynamic not only serves to strengthen our knowledge base, but also streamlines investment discussions and value creation collaborations.
Resonating with our key stakeholders:
Founders
We are passionate about working with company founders. Of our investments, over 80% have been made in founder-led businesses. We seek to help them with the next evolution of value creation in such areas as sales and marketing, talent and operations. This is done within the sphere of the Juggernaut ecosystem to provide additional consumer insights, best practices and support.
Intermediaries
We pride ourselves on our sector expertise so that we may provide value to our intermediary partners throughout the transaction process regardless of stage. Whether it is efficient feedback, access to our ecosystem or focused closings, we believe our sector knowledge makes Juggernaut a partner that intermediaries can trust as a resource for consumer transactions.

Consumer is in our DNA
We believe in partnering with management teams that lead best-in-class brands and services companies. Juggernaut seeks to partner with companies that we believe have a right to win in the consumer marketplace. This belief is founded on understanding the data that supports why a brand wins and what drives demand. For services, our brands provide a lens to analyze the moat that protects a company’s value proposition and how that offering can fit within the Juggernaut ecosystem to drive value creation.
Our transactions span platform and growth investments, including industry consolidations, management-led buyouts, corporate divestitures and public-to-private acquisitions.
