Ropart Asset Management

What Ropart Asset Management does

Ropart Asset Management Funds ("RAM") is a privately held, Greenwich, Connecticut-based private equity firm founded in 2001 by Todd A. Goergen. The firm invests directly in small to midsize companies through a flexible mandate that spans control/platform buyouts, growth equity, venture capital, and opportunistic/distressed situations, including secondary-market purchases of PE fund LP interests. Sector focus is deliberately broad, covering Business Services, Consumer Products/Services, Software/Technology, Fintech, and Blockchain/Crypto, with a current portfolio of 35+ companies and several cryptocurrencies representing over $100 million of cumulative invested capital since inception.

RAM's value proposition centers on hands-on portfolio support rather than capital alone. The firm provides board-level guidance, operational best-practice advice, C-level recruitment, corporate development assistance (valuation, modeling, negotiations), and access to a proprietary global network of senior executives and operating-level managers sourced through the Goergen family and partner relationships. Key portfolio names include Curaleaf (cannabis), Crexendo (NASDAQ:CXDO, cloud communications), Gemini, MoonPay, Ownera, Casper Labs, Lensar, Emulate, Lime, and YouAI, with deep entanglement in the blockchain ecosystem through operating roles at Make International, Draper Goren Holm, and Casper Labs.

Revenue mechanics follow standard PE economics: management fees on committed/invested capital plus carried interest on realizations. Revenue is not publicly disclosed. The firm operates with 11-50 employees, a two-person investment leadership team (Goergen and Stofer), and a heavyweight advisor bench (Robert B. Goergen Sr., Robert B. Goergen Jr., Fred Warren, Alex Kelly, Nabyl Al Maskari, Cameron Forni). Distribution is network-driven rather than institutional; deal flow and LP relationships are sourced through direct outreach, conference participation (Investopia 2023, Blockchain Hub Davos, Security Token Summit), and co-investments with institutional names such as J.P. Morgan and LRC Group.
