Aurora Capital Partners

Aurora Capital Partners is a private equity firm established in 1991 and based in Los Angeles, California. It focuses on control investments in middle‑market companies, collaborating closely with management teams to drive value through growth initiatives, strategic positioning, and add‑on acquisitions. The firm invests primarily in industrial & business services, industrial technologies, and software & technology‑enabled services.

The investment philosophy of Aurora emphasizes strong partnerships: it generally backs incumbent management teams, often with management co‑investing, and deploys an Executive Board and Advisory Network to support portfolio companies in areas like strategy, operations, and governance. Aurora seeks companies that have stable industry dynamics, attractive business model characteristics, and room for operational improvement or growth.

Over time, Aurora has made dozens of investments and exits, building a track record in its target sectors. The firm tends to work in the North American market, particularly the U.S., deploying capital to create market‑leading companies through both organic growth and strategic acquisitions.
