OceanSound Partners

OceanSound Partners is a New York-based private equity firm founded in 2019 that specializes in making control investments in middle-market technology and technology-enabled services companies. The firm focuses exclusively on companies serving government and highly regulated enterprise end-markets, including aerospace, defense, and federal government sectors. OceanSound partners closely with founders, entrepreneurs, and executives to drive transformational growth through strategic and tactical initiatives while maintaining active but non-prescriptive involvement in day-to-day operations.

The firm's investment philosophy centers on continuous improvement and value creation beyond capital deployment. OceanSound's investment team brings over 85 years of collective experience investing in and supporting businesses within their target end-markets. With a team of nearly 50 professionals and 55 completed transactions, the firm has demonstrated consistent execution in identifying and scaling technology companies. OceanSound takes an active partnership approach, leveraging combined expertise across end markets, industries, and prior investments to advise management teams on best practices and growth strategies.

OceanSound's portfolio companies generate over $3.9 billion in revenue and employ over 13,500 professionals. The firm has successfully transformed companies such as Trident Technologies, which it acquired in 2019 at $68 million in revenue and scaled to $1.5 billion through strategic acquisitions and rebranding as SMX.
