– Uplift Investors closed its inaugural private equity fund with $670 million in capital commitments.
– Founded in March 2025 by Will Hausberg, Doug Rosenstein, and Bradley Skaf, who have invested together on every deal over the past decade.
– Built around a business model-centric investment philosophy, prioritizing business models alongside deep sector expertise.
– The firm aims to apply a repeatable value creation playbook across multiple industries through its business model-focused approach.
– Fund I has already completed several investments.
– Will Hausberg, Doug Rosenstein, and Brad Skaf, Co-Founders and Managing Partners, stated: “Over the past decade, we’ve learned that understanding a business model tells you more about how a company creates value than understanding an industry alone. That insight led us to reengineer the traditional private equity value creation playbook and build Uplift around a business model-centric investment philosophy.”
