Bochi Investments

Bochi Investments is a private equity firm headquartered in Lake Oswego, Oregon, focused exclusively on partnering with founder-owned and family-owned businesses across the Pacific Northwest. The firm targets the lower middle market — companies that are often underserved by larger institutional investors yet represent critical pillars of their local economies, workforces, and communities. Bochi was established with a clear regional purpose: to provide a thoughtful, long-term capital partner for business owners navigating pivotal moments of transition, including ownership succession, generational transfers, and strategic growth initiatives. Unlike traditional private equity firms that operate with a buy-and-exit mentality, Bochi positions itself as a patient, relationship-first partner committed to preserving the culture, people, and legacy that define each business it works with. The firm's investment philosophy centers on four core principles: a relationship-first approach, an exclusive regional focus on the Pacific Northwest, a long-term growth orientation, and hands-on operational partnership with leadership teams. Bochi works closely alongside founders and management teams post-investment, providing strategic and operational support without disrupting the core identity or values of the business. Its hyperlocal focus gives the firm a distinct advantage — deep familiarity with Pacific Northwest business communities, local market dynamics, and the regional talent and operational landscape. This on-the-ground presence allows Bochi to serve as a genuinely engaged partner rather than a distant capital provider. The firm structures its investments with flexibility, tailoring deal structures to align with what works best for individual business owners rather than imposing rigid templates. Bochi's target partners are owners who have built meaningful businesses and want to ensure those businesses endure — for their employees, their customers, and the communities they serve. The firm is particularly well-suited for situations where founders are planning for succession or seeking a trusted partner to help carry their business into its next phase of growth. Bochi Investments represents a niche but increasingly relevant segment of the private equity landscape: regionally focused, founder-friendly, and built for continuity over short-term returns.
