The Brydon Group is a private equity firm founded in 2022 and based in Washington, D.C. With committed capital, the firm partners with operators to acquire and grow small businesses in software, healthcare and business services, spanning both B2B and B2G markets. It targets companies with EBITDA of $1m-5m and completes five to six acquisitions a year.

The firm was founded by former Navy SEAL team members, whose combined service includes 12 combat deployments with elite SEAL teams. Their prior experience spans large-cap private equity at Blackstone and Carlyle, bulge bracket banking at Goldman Sachs and JP Morgan, and multiple software exits. The firm states values of service, stewardship and integrity, describes a culture in which reputation is paramount, and approaches transactions with honesty and transparency. It focuses on mission-critical sectors where deep industry expertise and reputation matter most.
