The Gores Group LLC

The Gores Group, LLC is a global private equity and investment firm specializing in acquiring controlling interests in mature and growing businesses that can benefit from the firm's operating experience and flexible capital base. The firm targets companies across industrial, technology, healthcare, business services, telecommunications, media, and consumer products sectors in North America and Europe, with its private equity holding company arm pursuing transactions ranging from $500 million to $3 billion for scaled industry leaders, complemented by a family office structure handling smaller opportunities up to $200 million. Transaction types include leveraged and management buyouts, corporate carve-outs and divestitures of non-core assets from public corporations, joint ventures, and special-purpose acquisition company (SPAC) business combinations, with the latter typically targeting enterprise values between $200 million and $800 million and shorter two-to-three-year hold periods compared to five-to-seven-year traditional private equity cycles. The Gores Group pursues majority control as its standard ownership structure, combining the operational expertise and due diligence rigor of a strategic buyer with the deal execution capabilities of a traditional financial buyer. Founded in 1987 by Alec E. Gores, the firm is headquartered in Beverly Hills, California, United States, with additional offices in Boulder, Colorado, and London, United Kingdom.
