Falfurrias Management Partners

Falfurrias Management Partners is an operationally focused private equity firm investing in growth-oriented, middle-market businesses. Founded in 2006 by Hugh McColl Jr., former chairman and CEO of Bank of America; Marc Oken, former CFO of Bank of America; and Managing Partner Ed McMahan, the firm has raised approximately $3.6 billion across seven funds. The firm's investment strategy centers on building concentrated portfolios in durable growth markets, employing a proprietary 'Industry First' approach that focuses on sectors benefiting from regulatory, demographic, and secular trends. This strategy is complemented by the deep operating experience of its partners and a dedicated team focused on value creation within its portfolio companies.

Falfurrias Management Partners manages two distinct funds: Falfurrias Capital Partners (FCP) and Falfurrias Growth Partners (FGP). FCP focuses on majority and controlling investments in family and entrepreneur-owned businesses, while FGP makes control or minority investments in emerging growth software and business services companies. The firm's portfolio spans various sectors, including government and business services, food manufacturing, industrial technology, software, and business services.

The firm's commitment to operational excellence and its 'Industry First' approach have led to industry-leading returns, placing it within the top five small-cap buyout firms worldwide, as ranked by HEC Paris-Dow Jones in its most recent 2023 report. Recent investments include Snak King, a leading manufacturer of private label and co-manufactured snack products, and Oddball, a digital services agency specializing in government organizations. These investments reflect Falfurrias' dedication to partnering with proven management teams to build durable and sustainable companies across its target sectors.
