“We wish the team continued success as they build on their strong business foundation during Amplifire’s next chapter of growth.”
Leeds Equity focuses exclusively in the education, training and information services industries. It has managed over $4.5bn of capital.
The firm surged past the hard cap for its seventh flagship private equity raise last year to reach a $1.4bn final close.
Fund VII came in almost twice the size of its predecessor Fund VI from 2018.
It closed its fifth flagship fund on $525m in 2010, and raised $430m for Fund IV back in 2004.
