TriSpan

Investment decisions are led by the three co-founders—Joseph Sassoon, Joshua Gold, and Michel Bensabat—who serve as Managing Partners. Each brings sector-specific operating and investing experience from prior roles at large-cap private equity firms and investment banks. The partnership structure means major investment committee decisions require alignment across the transatlantic team.

TriSpan leverages the dual-hub structure between London and New York to cultivate relationships with founder-owners, family-run businesses, and sector-specific intermediaries on both sides of the Atlantic. The firm emphasizes direct origination through operating partners and industry networks rather than relying on broad auction processes.

TriSpan is a private equity firm, not a family office or venture firm. It manages institutional capital from limited partners across traditional closed-end fund structures, pursuing control buyouts and minority growth equity in mid-market companies.

TriSpan's core activity is direct investing—both control buyouts and minority growth equity. The firm is not a fund-of-funds and does not publicly market a strategy of investing into other external general partners.

TriSpan targets mid-market companies with enterprise values generally between $50 million and $250 million. The firm executes both control buyouts and minority growth equity investments, focusing on businesses with proven unit economics and identifiable operational levers for value creation.

TriSpan has not publicly identified a list of prohibited sectors. However, its stated focus is exclusively consumer, healthcare and wellness, and specialty financial services, suggesting that heavy industrial, extractive, and large-scale technology infrastructure businesses fall outside its mandate.

Rosa Mexicano and Naya are both portfolio companies in which TriSpan held, or holds, significant equity positions. Rosa Mexicano represents a completed cycle—TriSpan sold its majority stake to Radisson Hotel Group Americas in December 2023. Naya remained in the portfolio as of the firm's last public disclosures, serving as an example of the firm's restaurant and branded consumer thesis.
