“We are very pleased to announce the successful close of this oversubscribed continuation fund in what continues to be a challenging fundraising environment.

“We are proud of the success that has been realized for each of Crown and Hyland’s under Hildred’s ownership to date. This transaction provides both companies with additional committed capital to execute organic growth initiatives, to pursue strategic acquisitions, and to continue to drive operating leverage. The continuation fund is also a win-win for investors in that it has generated significant liquidity and attractive returns for selling limited partners while also providing new investors with the opportunity to participate over time in the appreciation of these strong and growing companies.”
– Andrew Goldman, Co-Founder and Managing Partner of Hildred
