Peterson Partners

Peterson Partners is an independent investment management firm based in Salt Lake City that deploys growth capital into scalable, tech-enabled healthcare service platforms. The firm is best understood as a multi-strategy investor with deep roots in Utah and the broader Mountain West, where it has built a reputation for partnering with founders and operators on a long-horizon basis. Within healthcare, the focus is squarely on care delivery and tech-enabled services, where the team backs platforms combining clinical operations, technology, and payer relationships. The thesis emphasizes durable cash generation, operational excellence, and the ability to scale a service-led business across multiple geographies or specialties. Peterson concentrates on growth-stage opportunities, with check sizes generally in the 5M to 25M range. The firm is comfortable taking minority or majority positions in growth equity transactions, and often partners with founders through multiple capital cycles given the long-hold orientation common to the firm. Reserves and follow-on capacity reflect a buy-and-hold philosophy more than a typical venture posture. Geographic focus is United States-wide, with Mountain West roots and a willingness to look at strong service-based platforms across the country. Founders engaging Peterson should expect detailed financial and operational diligence, partnership-oriented post-close engagement, and a board dynamic that prioritizes management continuity, operating cadence, and capital efficiency. The firm tends to favor founder-operators with meaningful skin in the game and a multi-year roadmap. Limited public information is available regarding individual partners and detailed portfolio data.
