Eureka’s Invested Operating Partner Network (IOPeNTM) provides its portfolio company teams access to operating capability from highly accomplished, C-Suite executives with deep management and advisory experience within Eureka’s target verticals. What differentiates Eureka’s IOPeNTM is that each partner in IOPeNTM brings more than just strategic and operational insight; they put their own capital behind their counsel and their belief in Eureka’s differentiated approach and the management teams we support. To date, IOPeNTM partners have made commitments of over $40 million to Eureka’s funds in addition to direct co-investment alongside our management team partners in transactions where they’ve served on the Board of Directors – now that’s alignment of interests. In addition, partners in IOPeNTM can bring actionable deal flow through their deep industry contacts and reputations as thought leaders. It’s another way Eureka Equity Partners helps you Find and Reach Your Potential.
