SUMMIT, N.J. and NEW YORK, Nov. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Taproot Capital ("Taproot"), an alternative asset manager that backs spin-out, emerging and growing private equity managers, today announced the formation of the Taproot Talent Tree Executive Network.

The executive network convenes a distinguished group of leaders from across the private equity ecosystem who will come together to expand on the value creation resources available to Taproot's portfolio funds. This network provides guidance on strategic and operational priorities, including finance and fund administration, deal sourcing and origination, legal and compliance matters, market analysis, talent management, human resources, technology innovation, public relations, and limited partner perspectives.

Taproot's commitment to providing support beyond capital includes global fundraising and advisory solutions through its affiliated broker-dealer. The formation of the Talent Tree Executive Network further strengthens this commitment, expanding the operating resources and relationships available to Taproot's partners as they seek to build and scale their businesses.

"Building a successful private equity firm involves more than a sound investment strategy and access to capital," said Eric Zoller, CEO & Co-Founder of Taproot. "We see tremendous value in bringing together professionals with different backgrounds and perspectives to help our partners navigate the opportunities and challenges of growing their firms. "We are excited to partner with the Talent Tree and are appreciative of their time and commitment," added Matt Thornton, Taproot's President & Co-Founder. "We look forward to the collaboration ahead."

^{Important Information Regarding the Talent Tree Executive Network
Members of the Talent Tree Executive Network are not employees of Taproot and receive no cash compensation for their participation. However, members may be offered the opportunity to invest in Tap Root Capital Fund I LP, a private fund managed by Taproot, on a fee-free, carry-free basis. That means they would pay no management fees and bear no carried interest on that investment. Other investors in the fund generally pay management fees and carried interest. This opportunity is a form of non-cash compensation and gives members a financial interest in Taproot and its funds. That creates a conflict of interest, because members may have an incentive to view or speak about Taproot favorably. Members' guidance to Taproot's portfolio managers is advisory only; members do not make investment decisions for Taproot or its funds. Nothing in this release is a testimonial or endorsement by any member, and no member's participation should be taken as an indication of the quality of Taproot's advisory services or of future investment results.}

^{Affiliated Broker-Dealer
Global fundraising and advisory solutions are provided through SevenPoint Partners LLC ("SevenPoint"), a broker-dealer affiliated with Taproot and a member of FINRA and SIPC. Taproot and SevenPoint are under common ownership, and Taproot and its personnel may benefit financially when portfolio managers use SevenPoint's services. That creates a conflict of interest.}

Certain statements in this release, including statements about the anticipated activities and benefits of the Talent Tree Executive Network, are forward-looking.
