The Texas Pacific Group (TPG) is one of the world’s leading global private equity firms. Founded in 1992 by David Bonderman, James Coulter, and William E. Price, TPG has offices on six continents and focuses mainly on leveraged buyouts, growth capital investments, and distressed/restructuring investments.
As a private equity firm, TPG assists companies in achieving their desired financial and operational objectives by providing comprehensive financing solutions. This includes providing companies with high-quality debt and equity when they need capital to fund growth, acquisitions, turnarounds, and recapitalizations. In addition, TPG creates value through direct involvement with portfolio companies and provides extensive resources to enhance their strategic and operational competitiveness.
TPG’s portfolio companies include a wide range of industries — ranging from technology and venture capital to healthcare, education and financial services. The firm has invested in dozens of global businesses such as Airbnb, Uber, Lime, Viacom, Continental Airlines, Allianz, Dell, and Burger King. TPG also strives to remain at the forefront of market developments, often deploying innovative approaches that are tailored to the needs of the businesses they serve.
Most recently, TPG launched their $2.5 billion dollar TPG Growth fund to support investments in mid-market growth companies. According to the firm, the fund was created to fill the current gap in the market by providing capital to small to mid-sized businesses that are too large for venture capital investors, but not large enough for traditional private equity firms. This fund seeks to make both strategic and financial investments and provide operational assistance to its portfolio companies.
As a private equity pioneer, TPG has grown to become a leader in its field. The firm has invested over $80 billion in more than 600 companies to date and works with innovative business leaders across the globe who have the passion and talent to drive their companies to success. With investments in industries such as healthcare, clean energy, technology, real estate, consumer goods and services, TPG has established a name for itself as a leader of the global private equity environment.
