Vesper Company

At Vesper Company, we believe building an enduring business starts by backing an exceptional management team. This past year, our management-first partnership approach has been at the core of everything we do, grounded in a commitment to: 1. Build Early Relationships: Before making an investment, we always begin by dedicating considerable time to understanding the vision, strategy and approach of the founders and management teams we partner with. 2. Collaborate Actively: We work together with our partner companies, providing not just long-term capital, but active strategic and tactical support to help achieve our collective goals. 3. Create Value Together: Whether helping to develop organic and inorganic strategic growth plans, rolling up our sleeves to identify and close key hires, or leveraging our networks to make new customer introductions, we aim to create value for founders and management teams. Over the past few days, we had the privilege of spending time on the ground with the teams of two of our partner companies that perfectly illustrate how we work together: - With Position Music, we sat down in Burbank with founder Tyler Bacon and his leadership team to plan for how we scale their market-leading music publishing and recording businesses, bringing additional value to their writers and artists, and further establish Position as a premier destination for top musical talent. - With TAO Digital Solutions, we met with founder Rajkumar Velagapudi and the leadership team in Hyderabad, India, where the company has one of their key global delivery centers. Just ~8 weeks into our partnership, we collaborated on plans to scale their differentiated digital product engineering and data solutions offerings to bring value to their customers across their key industry verticals: (i) automotive & industrial, (ii) hi-tech & media, (iii) healthcare and (iv) financial services. As we wrap up 2024, we couldn't be more excited to continue working alongside our great management partners to help them write the next chapters of their growth stories. We look forward to what’s ahead for Vesper in 2025 and are eager to forge new partnerships as we continue to expand our current portfolio of acyclical content, technology and services businesses. We welcome the opportunity  to connect and share our perspectives on how we can be helpful, collaborative partners – if you’d like to start a conversation, we’d be delighted to hear from you at partnerships@vesper.us.

Congratulations to the team and writers at Position Music! Position's phenomenal team and deep commitment to serving writers and artists has made it a leading independent in the Billboard publisher rankings. We are proud to be partners with the company. #PositionMusic #Billboard #MusicBusiness

Last week we held our annual Vesper Company offsite in Portland, Maine. We had a great time sharing some local bites, exploring downtown Portland, and making our annual late night trek to L.L.Bean. It was also a great opportunity to renew our commitment to Vesper's mission: partner with founders and managers to scale content, technology, and services companies by providing aligned, long-term capital and active support. We are devoted to taking a management-first approach to investing and helping our partners build enduring businesses as represented by our recent investments in Position Music and TAO Digital Solutions.

Today Vesper announced a strategic growth investment in TAO Digital Solutions, a leading provider of outcome-driven technology services and solutions. The investment will accelerate TAO’s global organic and inorganic growth and will propel TAO’s expansion in AI-driven product engineering and data services globally.   Vesper has spent considerable time evaluating opportunities in the $1.4 trillion IT services industry and was immediately attracted to TAO because of its incredible track record and strong leadership team. We are excited about what’s ahead for TAO and look forward to collaborating with Rajkumar Velagapudi and the experienced team at TAO in this next chapter of the company’s growth story.   Read more about how this partnership aligns with our investment strategy here: https://lnkd.in/g2J-5XZN   #privateequity #TAODigital #ITservices #digitaltransformation
