Black Knight Partners develops private equity and real estate investments for select individuals and appropriate funds. Black Knight raises capital for immediate opportunities and dedicated campaigns, deploying typically $20 to $100 million at the time of initial investment. The firm invests in businesses that are operationally straightforward, use technology for advantage but not as a product, and are led by leaders capable of growth and change. Black Knight Partners was founded in 2001 by Rob Holmes after he had spent seven years as a management-investor in turnaround and start-up private companies. Since then, the firm has deployed over $100 million, investing in three companies and managing a prior investment in a fourth, and has participated in selling a business for $65 million.
