Next Gear Growth Partners, a unique private equity & digital growth firm focused on high potential direct to consumer (D2C) businesses, was launched by industry veterans this week.

AUSTIN, Texas and CHARLOTTE, N.C., March 22, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Next Gear Growth Partners is disrupting the private equity landscape by offering an all-in-one solution for select B2C e-commerce companies. By pairing broad and deep experience in digital marketing and business growth acceleration with years of private equity investment and management expertise, Barton Creek Equity Partners and Varda Partners are excited to offer owners and management teams a compelling opportunity to either partner with a team of growth experts or to exit their business quickly and efficiently. 

"In one transaction, business owners can access a complete and flexible team of seasoned B2C growth experts and partially or fully recapitalize their company. For many online e-commerce companies, this will be the perfect solution to accelerating growth while achieving liquidity and risk diversification goals," said Next Gear Growth Partners and Barton Creek Equity Partners Co-Founder Ron Duncan. 

"Next Gear Growth Partners brings to bear a complete team of experienced private equity professionals, strategists, digital commerce sales & marketing experts, and other functional area team members who will help plan and operationalize the steps to achieve enhanced growth in the companies with which we work," stated Next Gear Growth Partners and Varda Partners Co-Founder Joe Peterson.
