Strategy Overview
Bain Capital Private Equity’s primary objective is to be the partner of choice for great companies as they grow. Our team works with companies to help them achieve their full potential and continue to grow, and our track record has included many successful start-ups, founder-led companies, turnarounds and carve-outs from larger corporate partners.
We help companies improve their competitive position by expanding into new products and markets, growing productivity and strengthening their operations. Ultimately, we believe our growth-oriented model results in stronger companies that employ the best people, are socially responsible, and deliver strong returns over the long-term.
