Lightview Capital has made an undisclosed growth investment in Thorn Run Partners, a Washington, DC-based bipartisan government relations firm. Founded in January 2010 by former Senate staffers Andrew Rosenberg and Chris Lamond, Thorn Run serves more than 300 clients from offices in Washington, DC, Portland, Oregon and Los Angeles. The firm employs over 60 people and has been recognized as a top 10 lobbying firm by Politico, The Hill and Bloomberg.
The investment aims to help Thorn Run broaden its service offering, scale across policy areas and geographies, and grow its talent pool. Alongside the investment, Thorn Run plans to pursue add-on acquisitions and new hires. Bright Tower acted as the buy-side adviser on the deal.
Lightview Capital is a private equity firm focused on founder-owned companies in business services and tech-enabled services industries. Conor Mullett, co-founder and managing director of Lightview Capital, praised Thorn Run’s sustained growth, expert team, and innovative approach as key factors in the investment decision.
