"Selecting your capital partners is a key business decision. As founder and CEO of VeriCenter, an enterprise data center company that we grew from $0 to $80 million in annual revenue over eight years, I learned that a capital-intensive and high-growth business benefits enormously from a capital partner with the following characteristics: conviction behind their investment decisions, a realistic and mature view of the inevitable ups and downs of day-to-day operations, a practical understanding of the difference between management responsibilities and Board/shareholder responsibilities, a team-oriented willingness to help the company in any way possible, and deep capital markets expertise. These are the characteristics that make a private equity firm a partner rather than just an investor. Pharos Capital stands head and shoulders above the crowd in all of these areas. Pharos was instrumental in VeriCenter's achieving a successful exit scenario and was truly a business partner throughout our entire relationship. I would be very happy to be in business with Pharos Capital again."
- Gray Hall, VeriCenter
"Working with Pharos Capital has been instrumental in helping define our Company's strategic objectives. They are a partner with integrity that we can depend on."
- Dr. Jose Armas, MCCI
"The Pharos Capital Team really stood out among other potential investors in our company by virtue of their high integrity and sincere compassion, as well as their appreciation and understanding of the women's health industry. We also greatly value their global vision and extensive network, which they continue to leverage for our benefit. What they brought to us, over and above their capital, was a true partnership and friendship which we deeply appreciate."
- Olivia Cheng, Aurora Imaging Technology
“Our company operates in a highly regulated industry which required the Pharos team to endure an arduous and lengthy approval process in order to make their investment. During the process, they never lost sight of the goal, and perhaps more importantly, never lost their humor. We’re delighted to have Pharos as our lead institutional investor and would recommend them to any company seeking an insightful, supportive and non-intrusive source of private equity capital.”
- Phil Hertik, Windsor Health Group, Inc.
"Pharos Capital has proven to be an excellent investor, providing valuable input and maintaining confidence in our opportunity throughout the product development and deployment cycles.

-Dirk Luthro, Alereon
"For us, Pharos is the definition of "smart money"- which is what every growing company really needs. They have been true partners in not just raising capital on fair terms, but also in providing us help growing top line through key introductions that lead to new sales. They are involved in our business but do not try to run it-offering value only where they know they can make an impact"
- Rich Maradik, Smart DM Holdings
"The Pharos team can see opportunities when others do not and have the ability to turn these hidden opportunities into real results. Their focus, experience, and working style has been a powerful combination for Converge. From raising capital to helping cement that key customer relationship, their guidance is always insightful and never overbearing. Partnering with the Pharos team is like playing football with 12 players on the field……a real winning combination"
- Frank Cavallaro, Converge, Inc.
"More than a savvy investor, Pharos Capital is the visionary and proactive catalyst for our current corporate success. Simply put, we would not be in business today without Pharos' shrewd financial guidance, tenacity, discipline, and total support. They were key to orchestrating the corporate refocus/ reorganization/ recapitalization that has enabled Time Domain to achieve record revenue and backlog, pump up our cash flow, and turn the corner to profitability. Their sage financial counsel and support, as well as their pragmatic business judgment, have been invaluable and have allowed us to focus on bringing our revolutionary UWB technology to market. Pharos Capital makes things happen!"
- Will Webb, Time Domain
"Pharos epitomizes the value-added VC. They dove in during the diligence stage to get to know the pressure points of the business and were equipped day one to provide invaluable introductions and practiced counsel to drive the business forward.”
