Sachs Capital

Bethany Partners, a private equity fund founded in 2002 by Joshua Freeman and Andrew Sachs, embraced the simple thesis of investing in local, growing companies with quality management teams. On December 14th, 2006, the world lost a remarkable spirit and Mr. Sachs lost his friend, mentor and business partner when Mr. Freeman was tragically killed in a helicopter crash. Sachs Capital, founded in 2007, continues Joshua Freeman and Bethany Partners’ spirit. Following the success of Sachs Capital Fund I (2007 vintage), Sachs Capital launched Sachs Capital Fund II in 2015.
