Mainsail Partners is proud to be recognized among the Top Private Equity Firms of 2026 by GrowthCap.
“For 23 years, we have been trusted by bootstrapped software founders to help them build category leading companies while preserving the same discipline and customer obsession that fueled their success from day one. As we continue to invest in resources like AI Labs and our Growth Team, we believe companies that lean into the advantages of vertical market software through proprietary data, mission critical workflows, deep customer relationships, and AI-driven innovation will build durable enterprises. We are grateful for the opportunity to partner with the founders and teams we work alongside, and we’re honored to be recognized by GrowthCap as a Top Private Equity Firm again this year.” – Gavin Turner, Managing Partner
