A holistic approach

to nurturing invention and accelerating growth

When fundraising, we placed high importance on what comes with the capital beyond the written check. Edison has proven to really go above and beyond the call of duty to make CEOs successful.

The Edison Edge Manifesto

Are you going to be the first mover or a follower? That’s the choice in determining how your entrepreneurial journey will unfold. As a leader, capital will be an enabler of innovation, rapid growth and winning market share, but capital is just the beginning of a long and winding journey. Funding alone will not ensure the future today. Relentless execution and learning at every step will. And when you have a support system that embraces and empowers this, the reward is a more scalable, valuable, successful company.

Edison Partners helps CEOs and their executive teams navigate the entrepreneurial journey. We do this through a unique combination of growth stage capital, strategic advisory, an activated director network, and comprehensive portfolio of industry and functional executive development programs. We are the most engaged board member lending deep industry and operating expertise to determine the future today.

For 28 years, Edison’s mission has been rooted in the principles of Thomas Edison, the consummate inventor. Ours is a holistic approach to nurturing invention and accelerating growth for expansion stage businesses in the eastern United States. And we have a lot of fun along the way.
