We had the opportunity to get to know and trust the Ridgemont team ahead of entering the market to raise capital from outside investors. Their experience working alongside founders and approach to creating alignment and collaborative partnerships with management teams helped us gain conviction around Ridgemont as our preferred growth partner when recapitalizing our company.

James Gagne

What I learned really quickly about Ridgemont is that they are truly a founder, management, family-focused and enabling business.

Dolly Wagner-Wilkins

Ridgemont has been very supportive of the build-out and implementation of our proprietary tech platform, from recruiting the right talent to rolling out across our many locations. Our new technology platform is a bold investment, but it is strategic for the business, and Ridgemont encouraged us to keep pushing forward and brought a full suite of resources to ensure the success of the project.
