BOSTON and AUSTIN – TA, a leading global growth private equity firm, announced today the opening of a new office in Austin, Texas, a major hub for innovative, high-growth companies, entrepreneurs and skilled talent.

We believe that TA’s approach of partnering collaboratively with founders and management teams, while providing strategic advice, operating capabilities and keen industry expertise, will strongly resonate. We are thrilled to join Austin’s dynamic community as an investor in high-quality, growing and profitable companies.”
