Hear from Our Partners
Fengate has been an entrepreneurial sponsor who is aligned with our vision, strategy, and culture. Their collaborative approach during our partnership has helped Saco execute its growth plan focused on innovation, expansion, and acquisitions.
Fengate have been great partners to our team at GraceMed. They have integrated well with our team quickly and have helped augment our financial and deal making capabilities. As a company that focuses on our patients and their outcomes, our choice of a financial partner was very important. Fengate’s support and company culture have fit incredibly well with our entrepreneurial and rapidly growing business.
Given Inflector’s roots as entrepreneurial, family-owned business, it was important for us to partner with someone who understands the importance of investing in our people. Fengate have been great partners, not only in sharing our vision for the next stages of growth, but also by bringing the entire Fengate platform to support us in helping achieve that growth. We’re now more confident than ever in the long term potential of our company.
We are impressed with Fengate's investment approach because it gave us the resources we needed to meet our strategic growth plan and empowered us to deliver an expanded service offering to our customer base.
We seek to identify scalable platforms led by high-quality entrepreneurs and management teams in the expansionary stage of their business.
