WestView Capital Partners

What WestView Capital Partners does

WestView Capital Partners is a Boston-based private equity firm founded in 2004 by Carlo von Schroeter and Richard Williams that focuses exclusively on growth-oriented investments in U.S. middle-market companies. The firm invests $20–100 million per transaction in companies with at least $10 million in revenue and $3–25 million in EBITDA, operating across six verticals: Business Services, IT Services, Software, Healthcare IT & Outsourcing, Growth Industrial, and Consumer. WestView is explicitly control-agnostic, with a deal mix of approximately 46% minority and 54% majority structures, and emphasizes preserving meaningful management ownership (averaging 38%+ across portfolio companies) and founder continuity (90%+ of founders/CEOs remained throughout the investment period).

The firm has raised five consecutive funds totaling approximately $2.7 billion in committed capital, with Fund V closing at $1.0 billion in 2023. Since inception, WestView has invested in more than 60 companies and realized 34 exits (18 to financial buyers, 16 to strategics) at an average 3.6x cash-on-cash return. Its revenue model is the standard private equity General Partnership structure: recurring management fees on committed capital from a Limited Partner base that includes endowments, pension funds, foundations, fund-of-funds, and family offices, supplemented by carried interest on realized investment gains. Distribution is relationship-driven — direct outreach by Managing Partners and Partners, founder referrals, and an executive network that includes over 40 current and former portfolio company executives who have invested in WestView's funds.

WestView's operating team is intentionally lean at approximately 20 professionals, comprising four Managing Partners, three Partners, a CFO/CCO, a Principal, two Vice Presidents, and a layered associate and operations bench drawn almost entirely from top-tier investment banking and consulting programs. Recent strategic activity indicates active deployment of Fund V, including new platforms in healthcare benefit navigation (Benefits All In, February 2026), life sciences AI services (Helio Health Group, June 2026), and pharmaceutical reverse logistics (PharmaLink, August 2025), alongside realizations via the sale of Prime Electric to Truelink Capital (January 2026) and the acquisition of Jopari Solutions by Office Ally (April 2026). WestView itself does not develop proprietary technology; the firm's product is equity capital, sector expertise, and a partnership model that has earned third-party recognition as a 2025 Top Growth Equity Firm from GrowthCap.
