Jeremy Burr
Founder at Spotlight Equity Partners LLC
Profile
Jeremy Burr has extensive experience acquiring and operating middle-market companies.
Prior to co-founding Spotlight Equity Partners, in 2006 Jeremy founded and managed Venatus Capital Partners, a private investment firm that outperformed 98% of its private equity group peers making investments in comparable vintage years.
In 2007, through Venatus Capital Partners, Jeremy acquired EM-Assist, Inc., a 150-person environmental consulting services, information management, and software technology company with operations internationally.
Jeremy ran EM-Assist as its Chief Executive Officer for five years, where he was responsible for leading the development and implementation of the company’s strategy.
Under Jeremy’s leadership, EM-Assist’s profits grew at more than a 30% compounded annual growth rate during a challenging economic period that saw many competitors’ businesses decline meaningfully.
In 2012, Jeremy sold EM-Assist to Cardno Limited, an Australian publicly-traded company.
Previously, Jeremy spent time as an investment banker with Goldman, Sachs & Co. in New York, where he advised management of Fortune 500 companies in the financial institutions sector.
Jeremy started his career advising owners of middle-market companies with Barrington Associates (now part of Wells Fargo Securities), a Los Angeles-based investment banking boutique specializing in sell-side merger and acquisition advisory services.
Jeremy spent a year studying at the London School of Economics and graduated magna cum laude from Williams College, where he earned a BA degree with Highest Honors in Economics and Astrophysics.
He holds an MBA from the Harvard Business School.
