Thanks to initiatives such as Ownership Works, a growing number of private markets firms have begun to integrate employee ownership schemes. However, few firms have gone further in this regard than Apis & Heritage Capital Partners.
Founded in 2020, the firm finances the conversion of companies with substantial Black, Indigenous and People of Color (BIPOC) workforces into 100 percent employee-owned businesses through its employee-led buyout strategy. The firm closed its first fund in 2022.
