PE in Miami

There are a handful of middle market PE shops in and around the Miami area. Couple off the top of my head:

H.I.G. - Sweatshop, average pay, have LBO funds and growth equity funds, strong reputation in their sector Brockway Moran - No longer making new platform investments, but is a reputable name in MM PE.

Miami is good place in the Southeast for MM PE, CompBanker has included a few good ones, but here are some additional ones.

Harren Equity Boyne Capital TriVest ComVest Sun Capital

Obviously, I incorporated some of the outer parts of Metro Miami and Ft. Lauderdale, but your options around Brickell are limited.

Also, just a heads up use the search function in Company Research.

There is also Pine Tree Equity and Palm Ventures.

Sun Capital and H.I.G. are the biggest and probably most successful

SunCap, SunCap, HIG and related funds, SunCap. I'm sure there are a number of other small groups as well.

HIG (depending on fund) tends to do tougher MM or Low MM deals. I remember when SunCap used to do a deal a week but then the world stopped in 2008. Still have a ton of decent portfolio names but the folks I knew (junior to mid-level) back then are all gone.

Define "tougher".
