Excolere Equity Partners Announces Firm’s Launch and Strategic Investment from GCM Grosvenor
Summary
Our partnership with GCM Grosvenor allows us to accelerate hiring of top talent and to build best-in-class operational infrastructure at launch, while retaining full control over the investment process and day-to-day management of the firm. Added Elevate strategy Co-Head, Elizabeth Browne, Tony and his partners bring a unique depth of investment, operational, and public policy expertise to bear in launching Excolere. Excolere is focused on the segments within the education and human capital management (HCM) sector that are poised for sustained growth and reflect the transformation underway as enterprises look to recruit, upskill and re-skill their workforce, as working adults look to acquire the capabilities and credentials needed to thrive in an increasingly skills-based economy, and as our pre-K through 12 system adopts more evidenced-based and more individualized instructional approaches that improve learning outcomes. The firm has experienced early success with an oversubscribed investment in EPS School Specialty, a leading developer of curriculum products and services that enhance literacy and math skills for K-12 grade level students. Elevate leverages the GCM Grosvenor platform to provide broad support to firm founders through consultative resources across key non-investment functions.
