Description

Founded in 1923, Agman is a private investment firm built on the philosophy of permanent capital, long-duration ownership, and a founder's mindset. Rather than simply providing capital, Agman partners directly with operators—helping with strategy, leadership recruitment, and providing patient capital needed to build category-defining companies. The firm has the flexibility to invest across the capital structure and across asset classes and stages of development, participating as both a control and passive investor in private capital, public markets, and real estate. With over 100 years of legacy, 13,000+ employees across its portfolio, $1B+ in revenue, and operations across 32 states, Agman has deep expertise in financial services, hospitality, and real estate. Many of its portfolio companies—such as Aurenity (insurance), Aparium Hotels (hospitality), and Potbelly (private capital)—began with Agman as their first or only institutional investor, and a number have since gone public or been acquired, collectively generating billions of dollars in shareholder value and thousands of jobs.
