Overview

Savant Growth is a US-based private equity firm that invests in bootstrapped, founder-led B2B SaaS and tech-enabled services companies.

The firm raised $500 million for its inaugural fund, Savant Growth Fund I, supporting nine active portfolio companies at launch.¹²

History

Savant Growth originated from Kennet Partners, where the team spent the first decade on financial advisory for over 200 tech firms, launched Kennet’s US presence in 2000 focusing on bootstrapped companies, and invested nearly $1 billion in over 50 high-growth ventures over 20 years. In 2021, Kennet recapitalized, leading the North American team to restructure and form Savant Growth as a dedicated US fund. The firm combines 30 years of investment experience with a data-driven approach to support capital-efficient SaaS companies.¹²
