Bob Bean
Transnetyx, Inc.

“... we are fortunate, very fortunate, to have found Thompson Street Partners as a capital partner for our company. I would recommend Thompson Street to other business owners if what they’re looking for is a true partnership to grow their business.”

Dan Nettesheim
BarcodesInc

“We had experience in a prior business endeavor of working with a few folks on the Thompson Street team and that experience was very positive … there’s a lot of heavy lifting to do on a day to day basis that has to do with people, incentives, managing the financials … the basics of growing the business. And Thompson Street understands that because they have deep operating experience at a front line perspective.”

Ricky Brooks
Express Oil Change & Service Center

“I would recommend Thompson Street Partners for someone looking for a private equity partner for three important reasons: number one, the people. The second reason … is their dealings with the lender relationships. The third reason … is the expertise to help the management team discern the strategic direction it should go.”
