Private Equity for MSP Acquisitions: Alpine Fund VIII Launches

Share

Private Equity firm Alpine Investors has raised $2.25 billion, and a portion of that money has been earmarked for more MSP investments and acquisitions, ChannelE2E has confirmed.

Dig into the new Alpine Investors Fund VIII, and you'll notice that it includes the formation of Evergreen II, a platform that acquires and grows managed services and government services, Alpine disclosed.

The Evergreen II dollars, in turn, are managed by Evergreen Services Group of San Francisco, California. Evergreen Services Group, which has been backing MSPs since around early 2018, has built a $200 million+ revenue business through 35 MSP acquisitions, the firm tells ChannelE2E.

Some of the new funds to watch include:
