DALLAS, April 3, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Trive Capital ("Trive"), a Dallas-based private equity firm, is pleased to announce the successful final closing of Trive Capital Fund V, LP ("Fund V"), with total commitments of $2.7 billion, exceeding its target of $2.5 billion. Trive's predecessor program closed in April 2022 on $2.0 billion.

Fund V has already made seven investments that demonstrate Trive's off-the-run sourcing, deep value and operationally focused investment strategy. Over the last twelve months across all funds, Trive has executed 10 platform investments and 19 add-on investments and completed three exits and dividend recapitalizations, most recently completing the successful IPO of Karman Space & Defense.

Chris Zugaro, Co-Founder and Partner at Trive Capital, added, "We are excited to deploy Fund V and continue our strategy of identifying and investing in companies with strong growth potential.
