HANOVER PARTNERS

Investing nationally, based in San Francisco and Portland, Hanover Partners is a private equity firm focused on growing small-to-medium sized companies in partnership with management... Andrew Ford and John Palmer founded Hanover Partners in 1994. As operating professionals with product management, marketing, business strategy, and strategic finance backgrounds, they saw an opportunity to leverage their operating experience to acquire, manage, and grow a small company. This approach transitioned into a portfolio model where they would not get involved in the day-to-day operations of the companies; rather, they would be value-added investor-partners, providing engaged, resourceful stewardship for the management teams of each acquired company. As such, we have been highly selective with our acquisitions so that we can devote meaningful time to supporting each portfolio company.
