Bloom Equity

Managing Partner and founder Bart Macdonald oversees investment strategy, value creation, governance, and investor relations. Partner Jeff Hsiang, a former Blackstone and Lazard professional, sits on the investment committee and provides oversight on all investment activities. Principal Abe Borden, formerly of Diversis Capital and K1 Investment Management, supports investment decisions alongside associates Andrew Olson and Richard Jiang, whose prior firms include Access Holdings, CVC Capital Partners, and Accel-KKR.

Bloom targets companies headquartered in North America, Western Europe, or Australia/New Zealand. Its dual headquarters in Dublin and New York provide a transatlantic base for sourcing and operational support. The firm's team page lists professionals with deal experience on both continents, including at European firms CVC Capital Partners and ECP.

Bloom targets majority investments (>51%) requiring operational control. Transaction types include growth investments, management-led buyouts, take-privates, carve-outs, and recapitalizations. The firm focuses on companies with $5 million to $50 million+ in annual recurring revenue and mandates that targets are either EBITDA-positive or profitable within 12 months. The 0–100%+ annual revenue growth criterion signals that Bloom will acquire both steady-state and hypergrowth assets.

Bloom assigns an internal operations and value-creation team—not external consultants—to each portfolio company. Senior Operating Partners lead pre- and post-investment initiatives, including M&A rollup strategies, go-to-market transformations, marketing technology overhauls, and talent infrastructure builds. For example, Operating Director of Marketing Chris Mindnich previously led a comprehensive marketing transformation at SurePoint Technologies. Operating Director of Talent Andrea Hutchinson builds scalable recruiting functions aligned with revenue growth targets.
