Established in 2019, Open Equity Partners is a boutique private equity firm based in Vancouver, Canada. We began by looking to purchase a business from an owner seeking to retire and sell their entire stake or a portion of it. In 2021, OEP made its first investment by acquiring Northern Computer - one of the largest independent IT Managed Service Partners (MSPs) in Western Canada.
The original owner of Northern Computer had devoted over 30 years carefully cultivating the company’s culture and establishing critical relationships with employees, customers and partners. Ensuring that Northern’s unique culture, team and core principles carried on to the next owner was of paramount importance to the previous owner who was set to retire. Given OEP’s deep operational roots we took on that challenge with pride ensuring the transition to new owners was seamless for our employees & customers.
Since the acquisition of Northern Computer, Open Equity Partners has continued its focus on investing in the Canadian IT Service sector by acquiring two additional MSP’s in Alberta - Syncsys and Compufix. Using Northern Computer as our platform to invest in the IT Service sector, Open Equity Partners is looking for additional MSP’s to acquire, integrate and grow.
A key pillar of our investment philosophy is diversification. So in addition to our investments in the IT Service sector, Open Equity Partners continues to look for opportunities in other industries. We are interested in investment opportunities that can provide the basis for long-term value creation. Our primary interest is in mid-market Canadian companies and do not restrict our investments to any specific industry.
