Bertram Capital Management, LLC

Bertram Capital is a private equity firm established in 2006, specializing in investments in lower middle-market companies. Headquartered in Foster City, California, the firm's core mission is to transform businesses into market leaders by combining venture capital operating methodologies with private equity financial discipline. Since its inception, Bertram Capital has raised over $4 billion in capital commitments across multiple funds.

The firm provides strategic growth capital and operational resources, leveraging proprietary processes such as "Bertram High 5℠" and "Bertram Labs." Bertram High 5℠ is an operationally-focused value creation strategy that includes management augmentation, operational initiatives, complementary acquisitions, and sales and marketing improvements. Bertram Labs, an in-house technology team, drives growth through digital marketing, e-commerce, big data and analytics, application development, and platform optimization. Bertram Capital primarily targets investments in the business services, consumer, industrial/manufacturing, and technology sectors.

Under the leadership of Founder and Managing Partner Jeff Drazan, Bertram Capital has continued to expand its investment activities. The firm recently closed its fifth flagship fund, Bertram Capital V, with $1.5 billion in commitments, and its first fund extension platform, Bertram Ignite I, with $260 million, focusing on smaller deals and non-control investments. In January 2026, Bertram Capital sold ReVamp Companies, marking its first exit from Fund IV and its 22nd overall exit. The firm has also been recognized as a Top Private Equity Firm for Executives by PrivateEquityCXO and a BluWave Top 50 Private Equity Innovator for 2024 and 2025.
