Trident
Trident is a lower middle market private equity firm founded in 2017 by Eric Taylor following a distinguished career at Goldman Sachs and Brightwood Capital. Trident stands out as one of the most promising next-generation buyout funds, thanks to Taylor's sharp focus on value creation and his readiness to invest in businesses across any sector where value and returns can be realized. Taylor partnered with Aron Betru from the Milken Institute whose connections, macro, and operational insights are complimentary to his bottom-up, hands on approach to investing. Trident’s first fund, Trident American Dreams Fund I was created to purchase a majority interest in small and medium sized businesses for whom capital can be difficult to come by. The Fund is managed by a diverse team committed to ESG and DEI principles, actively seeking investment opportunities that benefit disadvantaged groups and communities. They also work with portfolio companies to ensure their hiring practices for employees and vendors reflect Trident’s values. In support of this commitment, Trident has developed playbooks designed to drive commercial value creation while increasing diversity, equity, and inclusion within portfolio companies.
