Brendan Anderson: Founder and Managing Partner of ScaleCo

Brendan Anderson started his post-banking entrepreneurial career by acquiring Stam, Inc., which manufactures custom bent tubing before founding a private equity firm called ScaleCo where he has raised three funds and acquired 21 companies to date. The ScaleCo model includes investing in talented entrepreneurs, innovators, and managers to transform the businesses into long term sustainable growth companies.

In 2006, Mr. Anderson co-founded Evolution Capital Partners (ECP) to provide capital and management support to growing companies. ECP has invested over $100 million in 16 platform companies across three committed capital funds. In 2018, with the goal of building substantial support resources for the ECP portfolio companies, Mr. Anderson formed ScaleCo with the goal of hiring a team that is active daily in the companies. For more than 30 years, Mr. Anderson has been a student of emerging businesses. He serves as Chairman of the ScaleCo IC and focuses on deal sourcing, strategy, vision building, fundraising, and investor relations.

ScaleCo’s fourth fund consists of 3 partner companies; Innoplast (Garfield Heights, OH), PSP Metrics (Pittsburgh, PA), TPI Efficiency (Cleveland, OH), and Safety Controls Technology (Middleburg Heights, OH) with over 80 employees combined.
