Stated investment criteria
What Periscope Equity says it buys
Read from Periscope Equity’s own website in August 2026. This is what the firm says it buys, not what anyone has recorded it buying, and figures are shown in the currency the firm itself used - nothing here is converted. Every line links to the page it was read from.
| Revenue it states | $10m to $100m1 |
| EBITDA it states | $2m to $10m1 |
| Transaction types | Add-on1 |
| Founded | 20123 |
| People listed on its team page | 382 |
A stated mandate is a firm’s description of itself and was true of the page on the day it was read; firms widen and narrow what they will look at without updating the site. The team figure counts the people the firm shows on one team page, so it is a floor rather than a headcount: firms that split their team across tabs or load it in pages will read low. Nothing here is a commitment by Periscope Equity to consider any particular business, and nothing on this page is represented as being for sale.
SEC filings
What Periscope Equity has raised
From this firm's own Form D filings. A fund files one within fifteen days of its first sale, under penalty of perjury, which makes these the hardest numbers on the page.
| Vehicles filed | 5 |
| Total capital raised | $556m |
| Largest single vehicle | $226m |
| Filing history | 2017 to 2024 |
| Smallest accepted commitment | None stated |
| Filed from | ILLINOIS |
Form D covers US-domiciled vehicles raised from accredited investors. It will not capture a fund raised outside the United States, separately managed accounts, or capital deployed off balance sheet, so treat these as a floor rather than a total.
Regulatory record
How Periscope Equity is registered
From this firm's Form ADV, the annual filing every registered and exempt investment adviser makes to the SEC.

| Regulatory assets under management | $667m |

| Private funds advised | 8 · $667m gross |
| SEC adviser number | CRD 290326 |

Compiled from Periscope Equity’s published portfolio page. Where a recorded transaction is shown, that company was the target of a reported deal and has most likely already been realised. Nothing here is represented as being for sale.
