Founded in 2019, OceanSound Partners, LP (“OceanSound” or the “Firm”) is a private equity firm focused on control investments in middle-market technology and technology-enabled services companies serving aerospace & defense, government, and highly regulated end markets. The Firm seeks businesses that are complex, misunderstood, under-optimized, or facing an inflection point, which present a greater opportunity to drive improvements via our purpose-built investment model and value oriented approach. OceanSound specializes in transforming companies through its Build, Improve, Grow (“BIG”) value creation framework, which focuses implementing strategic and tactical initiatives in partnership with management teams.

OceanSound primarily executes on founder-owned businesses, corporate carve-outs, and take private situations, which have multiple options to generate attractive risk-adjusted returns. In the majority of cases, OceanSound has been the first private equity capital to invest in the business, and for all investments, OceanSound has been the first sector-focused and professional private equity capital.
