VSS Capital Partners, a private investment firm investing in the healthcare, education, and business services industries, completed a platform investment in Treya Partners, a management consulting firm specializing in procurement value creation, strategic sourcing and spend management advisory services for mid-market private equity-backed corporate clients. Financial terms of the private transaction were not disclosed.
“We see strong growth opportunities for Treya — both organic and inorganic — as private equity firms sharpen their focus on driving value creation through operational improvements in a challenging market environment,” Trent Hickman, managing director at VSS, said. “Historically, lower middle market businesses have had less access to highly sophisticated, outsourced procurement options than their upstream competitors, but Treya effectively evens the playing field, allowing smaller companies access to material savings.”
“We’re thrilled to have the support of the VSS team to embrace the next stage of Treya’s development,” Rahul Ahuja, co-founder and partner of Treya Partners, said. “VSS’s decades-long commitment to value creation in the lower middle market makes this a highly rewarding partnership. We look forward to drawing on their strategic expertise as we pursue meaningful growth opportunities over the near and mid-term.”
Treya’s current management team, in partnership with VSS, plans to expand the company’s product offerings and explore strategic M&A opportunities utilizing VSS’s buy-and-build approach.
Equiteq served as financial advisor and Fox Rothschild provided legal counsel to Treya, while Willkie Farr & Gallagher provided legal counsel to VSS.
