Pamlico Capital backs EHS Insight growth with Level Equity recap!

Pamlico Capital and Level Equity have completed a strategic recapitalization of EHS Insight, a leading provider of cloud-based environmental, health and safety software based in Houston. The move preserves the founders’ stake while deepening the partnership with its existing investor to accelerate growth in mission-critical industries.

Built to streamline regulatory obligations, EHS Insight delivers a modern platform for data collection, risk management and compliance across high-risk sectors. The cloud-native solution market has shown resilient demand as organizations accelerate digital transformation to meet evolving safety standards, with the long-term addressable market expanding as companies invest in proactive risk controls.

Founders Gary McDonald and Eric Stevens will retain meaningful ownership, reinforcing the management-led growth model. The transaction aligns with Pamlico Capital's focus on scaling high-growth software and technology-enabled services, while Level Equity continues to back the company’s product roadmap and go-to-market initiatives.

Christiane Felts, a partner at Pamlico Capital, described EHS Insight as a differentiated platform gaining momentum in its market. Sarah Sommer, a partner at Level Equity, underscored the plan to drive product innovation and expand the customer base across regulated industries.

Cloud EHS software is a growing niche within the broader productivity- and compliance-focused software space, with increasing regulatory complexity driving checks and analytics. Mid-market private equity players have leaned into recapitalizations to sustain high-velocity growth, balance leverage with founder equity, and accelerate platform integrations across customers.

With an emphasis on product-led growth and international expansion, the partnership positions EHS Insight to capitalize on growing demand for scalable, compliant safety management software in North America and beyond.
