Argentum Reports Successful 2021 and Strong Start to New Fund

NEW YORK, NY – February 1, 2022 – Argentum is pleased to announce that 2021 was a very active and successful year, highlighted by:

• The final closing of our latest fund, Argentum Capital Partners IV, L.P. (ACP IV), at its $200M hard cap
• 4 new investments by ACP IV in rapidly growing founder-led providers of cloud-based SaaS solutions
• 5 successful exits in Argentum’s prior funds
• 8 strategic transactions and follow-on investments to support continued growth and acquisitions
• The promotion of 3 of our team members and the addition of a new investment professional
• Recognition by Inc. as a top Founder-Friendly Investors for the second consecutive year

We are actively pursuing new investment opportunities for ACP IV as we continue our 30+ year focus on rapidly growing founder-led and bootstrapped B2B software, technology-enabled and business services firms generating $5M to $25M in annual revenues.  Our strategy aims to fill the growing gap between early-stage venture capital investors and later-stage growth equity firms, and is tailored to meet the unique needs of bootstrapped, capital efficient, founder-led, and closely-held companies by

• Investing $5M to $15M, primarily for minority ownership stakes, with the ability to flex to larger amounts if needed
• Employing a true founder-friendly and partnership-oriented approach
• Differentiating from the typical minority investor by adding value through (i) proactively sourcing customers, acquisitions, partnerships, and other strategic opportunities, (ii) serving as active board members and extensions of our management teams, and (iii) providing strategic guidance around initiatives, including best practices, corporate governance, recruiting, and corporate finance
