Bridge Street Capital Partners (with offices in Chicago, IL and Grand Rapids, MI) brings together practical experience, entrepreneurial spirit, operational knowledge, and a sense of purpose. We’re managing capital intelligently. And we’re putting it to work here, close to home. We believe that local private equity capital should be available to regional businesses for ownership transitions and growth funding.

Our principals' broad operational expertise can provide value in areas such as strategic planning, developing a company's culture and value system, mentoring management teams, and sourcing appropriate forms of capital designed to meet the specific needs of the portfolio company. We’re well-acquainted with many different industries, including industrial manufacturing, distribution and logistics, consumer products, healthcare, and business services. In a fund that’s the appropriate size to keep our principals (John Meilner and Bill Kaczynski) and our executive board (George Jackoboice, Mike Jandernoa and John Kennedy) regularly involved, this extensive background delivers significant value-added benefits to business owners.
