Our Investment Focus

Meritage is both a sector-focused and a stage-focused investor.

Sector

We invest exclusively in technology-based service businesses that leverage recurring revenue business models. Our portfolio companies perform mission-critical activities for their customers by enabling communication, delivering content or facilitating commerce. Our companies typically deliver their service offering over a network, creating real-time, on-demand relationships with their customers in the process.

Stage

We invest exclusively in Growth Equity opportunities, meaning businesses that generate positive EBITDA or that have a clear path to positive EBITDA based on a proven recurring revenue stream. Our flexible investment mandate allows up to pursue a wide variety of Growth Equity investments, including direct equity financings, recapitalizations, control acquisitions, consolidations, restructurings, spin-outs and management buy-outs.

About Our Name

Meritage is a combination of the words “merit” and “heritage.” We invest in entrepreneurs and companies of extraordinary merit. After years of working together, we are proud of our heritage, having built a leading private equity firm by investing in many successful network-enabled services businesses.

Our Values

We believe that truly successful organizations abide by a shared value system. We at Meritage believe the following:

  • We are in business to serve our customers. Our customers are our limited partners and portfolio companies.
  • We treat the money entrusted to us as sacred.
  • We are honest, fair and evenhanded.
  • We treat people with courtesy, dignity and respect.
  • We have a “can do” spirit.
  • We enjoy working as a team, understanding that “nothing is impossible if you don’t care who gets the credit.”
  • We honor our commitments by delivering what we promise. We believe in thoughtful analysis rather than emotional responses.
  • We believe in families and healthy lifestyles.
  • We take great satisfaction in building successful companies.
