Carlyle AlpInvest completed a single‑asset continuation vehicle for Bridgepointe Technologies, valuing the company at more than $1 billion. The transaction was completed on April 13 2026 and gives Bridgepointe a new source of capital to accelerate its growth.
Charlesbank Capital Partners increased its stake in Bridgepointe and provided liquidity to existing investors, allowing them to realize value from the company’s performance to date. The deal strengthens Carlyle’s secondaries platform, adding a high‑growth technology asset that aligns with its strategy of partnering with middle‑market firms to accelerate scale and generate fee‑related earnings.
Bridgepointe has built a national platform through more than 55 acquisitions by the end of 2025, consolidating the technology service distributor market. The continuation vehicle will fund further strategic acquisitions, investment in technology and data capabilities, and scaling of sales and go‑to‑market operations. The broader IT consulting and managed services market is projected to grow, positioning Bridgepointe to capture additional share.
Eric Anton, Partner at Carlyle AlpInvest, said, "Bridgepointe is a differentiated platform in a large and growing market, and we see a compelling opportunity given the Company’s trajectory, leadership team, and acquisition strategy. We look forward to partnering with Charlesbank and management to support its ongoing development." Pedro Vaz, Managing Director at Charlesbank, added, "Bridgepointe has evolved into a scaled platform with strong momentum and a proven ability to execute. Our decision to reinvest reflects our conviction in Bridgepointe’s long‑term opportunity and the strength of the management team." Ryan Carroll, also a Charlesbank Managing Director, noted, "This transaction provides liquidity to our early investors while positioning Bridgepointe for its next chapter alongside a new long‑term partner. We believe the additional capital and partnership with Carlyle AlpInvest will further support the Company’s continued expansion." Scott Evars, CEO and Co‑Founder of Bridgepointe Technologies, stated, "This investment materially strengthens our ability to scale and supports our mission to disrupt the technology distribution and consulting space."
