We are honored to be included again on GrowthCap's annual Top Growth Equity Firms list! For over 35 years, Pamlico has taken a partnership-focused approach to investing, which we believe drives the most meaningful impact. A big thank you to our portfolio company founders and management teams - this recognition is a testament to the success we've built together! To view the full list: https://lnkd.in/g2ptDbNe About the GrowthCap process: Starting with a consideration set of several hundred firms, final round candidates were reviewed methodically on the strength of their nomination submissions. We evaluated each firm’s unique capabilities, sector expertise, investment judgment, demonstrated value creation, senior partner composition, talent retention, firm evolution, and firm momentum, among other attributes. A fraction of final round candidates were ultimately selected as awardees. Upon selection for inclusion, Pamlico paid a publishing and copyright fee to market this award.

Thank you, Inc. Magazine, for including Pamlico on the Founder-Friendly Investors list for the fifth time! And an even bigger thanks to our executives who shared their experiences with Inc. on our behalf. There is no better endorsement than the support of our past and present founders, and this recognition is a great reminder that our commitment to a partnership-driven approach matters.

Last week, we had the privilege of hosting our biannual Executive Leadership Summit at Kiawah, bringing together our incredible network of portfolio company CEOs, board members, and industry advisors. Over two days, we focused on meaningful networking, sharing insights, and generally having a good time. A special word of appreciation to General Stan McChrystal and his colleagues at McChrystal Group for the inspiring keynote and leadership simulation, which sparked thought-provoking discussions around teamwork and communication. And thank you to everyone who joined us! One of our core beliefs is that having fun together is such an important part of our partnership, and we truly value every opportunity we get to do that with you.

We’re thrilled to share that Pamlico has been recognized by GrowthCap as one of the Top Private Equity Firms of 2024! Being acknowledged as a top capital partner to CEOs, management teams, and LPs is an incredible honor. It reinforces our belief that how we partner with our portfolio companies—through genuine collaboration, strategic guidance, and a strong sense of fun—sets us apart in the industry. Since 2013, GrowthCap has meticulously gathered data and insights from across the industry to identify the leading growth investment firms. This recognition focuses not just on financial returns but on the qualities that enable firms to consistently create value for their portfolio companies. The evaluation includes firm leadership, organizational strength, investment judgment, and a commitment to social and environmental responsibility.

We had so much fun coming together with friends and family the other week to participate in 24 Foundation's annual 24 Hours of Booty cancer fundraiser. Founded in 2002 by one man riding a bike for 24 hours, this signature event serves as a celebration of survivorship and the power of peer-to-peer fundraising, with participants committing to bike or walk over a 24-hour period. The event raised over $1.5 million, a nice addition to the over $28 million the foundation has raised since inception. At Pamlico, we believe in the power of community and the importance of giving back, and are honored to have played a small part in this year's success. (And a big shout out to our cohort of younger colleagues who enthusiastically took lead on the overnight race hours!)

A few weeks ago, Pamlico had the privilege of volunteering again with Roc Solid Foundation, whose goal is to build hope (literally, by building playsets) for kids fighting cancer. This experience was more than just a day of volunteering; it was an opportunity to bring joy and a sense of normalcy to children and families navigating through such challenging times. Each swing set symbolizes not just play, but hope, resilience, and community support. As Roc Solid says, "hope always wins."
