Portage Point Celebrates 10-Year Anniversary, Marking a Decade of Growth and Integrated Advisory Excellence
Portage Point, a business advisory, interim management, and investment banking firm, is celebrating its 10-year anniversary. Following a decade of significant growth, the firm is preparing for its next phase of expansion, building on ongoing momentum across its platform.
Founded on the premise that middle-market stakeholders deserve the same high-quality talent and insights as larger organizations, Portage Point has grown from an entrepreneurial concept into an integrated platform with over 200 professionals across 12 offices worldwide. The firm has assisted thousands of companies, investors, and stakeholders through various critical phases, including acquisitions, transformations, financings, and restructurings.
"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. He emphasized the importance of client trust during significant decision-making moments.
As part of its future strategy, Portage Point is expanding its global presence with the opening of a new office in Gurgaon, India. This expansion aims to deepen the firm's talent base and enhance its reach in a dynamic business environment, highlighting a commitment to building top-tier 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," Ray stated. He expressed confidence in the firm's people and platform as it looks forward to continued growth.
The anniversary aligns with several recent milestones for the firm. Earlier this year, Portage Point announced an expanded partnership with New Mountain Capital, which increased its ownership stake. Additionally, the firm achieved recognition on the 2026 Inc. 5000 list as one of America's fastest-growing private companies, marking its sixth consecutive year on the list. Portage Point also ranked No. 24 on Crain's Chicago Business Fast 50 for 2026 among the fastest-growing companies in the Chicago area, driven by nearly 400% three-year revenue growth.
