Clairvest Group Inc. is a Canadian private equity and venture capital principal with approximately $4.3 billion of capital under management and more than 35 years in the industry. It collaborates with management to invest in profitable small- and mid-sized North American companies across diverse sectors, providing both capital and strategic execution to drive growth. The firm pursues value creation through EBITDA growth and by building assets of strategic significance to larger national players, rather than relying on leverage or public-market exits. It aligns interests by investing its own money alongside partners (at least 25% of each fund) and maintains flexibility to own between 20% and 80% of a business, as long as management retains a meaningful equity stake. Based in Toronto, Ontario, Clairvest targets investments of $20 to $100 million in EBITDA-positive companies and uses capital to fund growth initiatives, acquisitions, or provide liquidity to existing shareholders.
