Golden Gate Capital is an American private equity firm based in San Francisco. It was founded in 2000 by former investment professionals from private equity firm Bain Capital and its affiliate, Bain & Company, led by former BC partner David Dominik.
The company makes investments in a number of select industries, including technology, financial services, retail and industrial, through leveraged buyout transactions, as well as significant minority purchases and growth capital investments. As of April 2018, it had over $15 billion in assets under management.
As of 2017, it had approximately 54 investment professionals. Its investment fund is structured as an evergreen fund with no finite life, meaning Golden Gate does not have to sell all investments within five to 10 years in order to raise another fund and can instead fund-raise as deals are made.
