ACP began raising the fund - featuring Align Capital Partners Fund II LP and Align Capital Partners Fund II-A LP, which collectively comprise ACP II - just four months ago.
With the closing of ACP II, Align Capital Partners has raised more than $775 million since the firm's founding in 2016.
Led by Managing Partners Steve Dyke, Rob Langley, and Chris Jones, ACP remains dedicated to the lower middle market with a tailored, growth-focused approach for companies with less than $150m of enterprise value.
