HOUSTON, Jan. 13, 2025 ~ Houston-based private equity firm, Sallyport, has recently announced the successful closing of its first fund, Sallyport Partners Fund. The fund exceeded its initial target of $150 million and closed with a total of $160 million in capital commitments.

Led by Chairman Doug Foshee and Managing Partners Kyle Bethancourt and Ryan Howard, Sallyport is an operationally focused lower to middle-market private equity firm. The team has a proven track record of achieving top decile returns at Foshee's family office for over a decade. In 2023, Foshee, Bethancourt, and Howard established Sallyport Partners Fund after recognizing the potential to utilize their proven processes on a larger scale.

Foshee, who seeded the fund and is also a member of the Investment Committee, expressed his excitement about the new venture. "Sallyport Partners Fund was created to utilize the proven processes our team has developed over time to generate value for like-minded investors on a larger and more impactful scale," he said.
