We are pleased to announce that Ara has successfully completed the sale of Priority Power to I Squared Capital. This transaction marks a significant milestone in our ongoing commitment to accelerate the growth of market-leading companies that are reshaping the industrial economy.
 
Ara Partners invested in Priority Power in 2019 and has worked closely with the company’s management team to launch and expand key business lines (including the formation of the company’s renewable development and energy curtailment service offerings as well as the growth of the remote asset management services business), refine the company’s M&A strategy, advise on key hiring decisions and facilitate the company’s initial debt financing.
 
Congratulations to Brandon Schwertner, CEO and the rest of the Priority Power team 👏

Last month, Ara joined forces with Boston Cares to make a tangible impact in our community by building beds for the A Bed for Every Child initiative. Together, we sanded and assembled twin-bed frames that will soon find their way to families across the Greater Boston Area through the MA Coalition for the Homeless.

Divert is collaborating with Feeding America, the largest hunger relief organization in the U.S., on an industry-leading initiative to scale complementary data-driven solutions and sustainable infrastructure that optimize food donations and address the food insecurity crisis. Together, we aim to bring more streamlined and actionable insights to retailers and drive a paradigm shift for how wasted food is managed across the U.S. Read more about our collaboration here:
