Bellevue Equity Partners is a Pittsburgh-based private equity firm with deep roots in the middle market. Named for one of Pittsburgh's neighborhoods, Bellevue reflects our commitment to the kind of businesses that define it — hardworking, enduring, and built to last.
Founded on a simple belief that the best private equity outcomes are built through genuine partnership, deep industry focus, and hands-on engagement with management teams, we pursue control buyouts of lower middle market companies with $3M–$20M in EBITDA, with a particular focus on services, distribution, and light manufacturing.
Our partners bring decades of combined investing experience across some of the region's most respected middle market firms, and have served on the boards of numerous companies where they have driven growth, supported management, and created lasting value. At Bellevue, we take pride in being straightforward, responsive, and easy to work with — for founders, intermediaries, and management teams alike.
