Portage Point Celebrates 10-Year Anniversary, Marking a Decade of Growth and Integrated Advisory Excellence

A decade of momentum sets the stage for the firm's next chapter of expansion

CHICAGO, Sept. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Portage Point, a business advisory, interim management and investment banking firm, is marking its 10-year anniversary. Following a decade of significant growth, the firm is poised for the next chapter building on continued momentum across its platform.

Founded on the belief that middle market stakeholders deserve the same caliber of talent, insight and execution as the largest organizations, Portage Point has grown from an entrepreneurial vision into an integrated platform of more than 200 professionals across 12 offices worldwide. The firm has supported thousands of companies, investors and stakeholders through acquisitions, transformations, financings, restructurings and some of the most consequential moments in their histories.

"The first decade was about proving that an integrated model -- one that brings together elite operators, advisors, investors, lenders and board members -- could deliver better outcomes for middle market stakeholders than a fragmented advisory landscape ever could," said Matthew Ray, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Portage Point. "What began as an entrepreneurial conviction has evolved into something extraordinary. More meaningful than any measure of growth is the trust our clients continue to place in us during their most important decisions."

As part of that next chapter, Portage Point is expanding its global footprint with the opening of a new office in Gurgaon, India. Establishing a presence in India deepens the firm's global talent base and extends its reach into one of the world's most dynamic business environments, underscoring long-term investment in building best-in-class advisory capabilities.

"Our ambition for the next decade is not simply to become larger, but to become better. Better advisors, better operators, better partners, better colleagues," said Ray. "Ten years in, I have never been more confident in our people, our platform and the future of Portage Point."

Building Momentum

The anniversary coincides with a series of milestones highlighting the firm's trajectory.

Earlier this year, Portage Point announced an expanded partnership with New Mountain Capital, a leading growth-oriented investment firm with approximately $60 billion in assets under management, which increased New Mountain's ownership stake.

The firm was recently named No. 880 on the 2026 Inc. 5000 list of America's fastest-growing private companies, marking its sixth consecutive year of recognition and a climb of almost 1,000 spots from the prior year, driven by nearly 400% three-year revenue growth. Portage Point was similarly recognized on Crain's Chicago Business Fast 50 for 2026, landing at No. 24 among the fastest-growing companies in the Chicago area.

"This momentum is a direct reflection of our team, our platform and the confidence our clients and partners place in us," Ray said. "It is also a reminder that ten years in, we are not slowing down and are building for what's next."
