H.I.G. Growth Partners

H.I.G. Growth Partners

Paragraph 1 — Identity, founding, wealth origin: H.I.G. Growth Partners was created as the dedicated growth capital platform within H.I.G. Capital, the Miami-headquartered alternative asset manager founded by Sami Mnaymneh and Tony Tamer. The Growth team draws on H.I.G.'s 30-year operating history and concentrates exclusively on scaling technology-oriented companies. Brian Schwartz was appointed CEO of the broader H.I.G. Capital in April 2026 (per the firm, April 2026). Paragraph 2 — Strategy & deployment: The firm pursues both majority and minority equity investments through its growth capital vehicle, which held approximately $2B in growth assets as of its last public update. It focuses on verticals where the team has deep domain expertise: SaaS, cloud and data software, technology-enabled services, internet and digital marketing services, consumer/e-commerce, and healthcare technology. Confirmed portfolio positions include Invoca, an AI-powered call tracking platform; MX Technologies, a financial data aggregation provider; Cleo, a supply chain orchestration software company; and ProsperOps, a FinOps automation platform sold by H.I.G. Growth in January 2026. The group deploys across North America, Europe, and Latin America, with offices in Miami, San Francisco, London, Paris, Hamburg, Milan, Madrid, Rio de Janeiro, and Bogotá. Paragraph 3 — Scale, team, adjacent vehicles: H.I.G. Growth Partners operates as a nimble team within the larger H.I.G. Capital platform, which counts over 500 investment professionals and more than 2,500 transactions since inception. The firm maintains 19 offices globally and has invested in over 400 companies across its platform. In January 2026, the Growth Partners business completed the sale of portfolio company ProsperOps, and in April 2026 the parent appointed Brian Schwartz as CEO to lead the next phase of expansion. The Growth team is led by Managing Director Ross Hiatt, supported by managing directors Mark Fiske, Evan Karp, Hans Sherman, and Eric Tencer. Paragraph 4 — Structural differentiator: H.I.G. Growth Partners is not a standalone venture firm. It operates as the dedicated growth capital division inside a multi-strategy, multi-billion-dollar private equity manager, allowing portfolio companies to access the operational resources, functional experts, and commercial relationships developed across H.I.G.'s broader buyout, credit, and real estate platforms — a structural advantage few pure-play growth equity firms can replicate.
