CG Petsky Prunier is pleased to announce it has advised Falfurrias Capital Partners on its majority investment in Industry Dive, one of the fastest-growing business-to-business media companies in the U.S.    

Washington, D.C.-based Industry Dive was formed in January 2012 to provide news and trends for industry leaders through convenient mobile apps and websites.

Industry Dive's three-year growth rate of 348% placed the company in the top half of the Deloitte Technology Fast 500 and earned it a ranking as the 13th fastest-growing media company on the 2019 Inc. 5000 list. The company also has been recognized twice as a top workplace by the Washington Post and has received several industry awards for editorial excellence in business journalism.

Falfurrias Capital Partners will work with Industry Dive to scale its B2B journalism, business intelligence, and sales and marketing products to new audiences and new industries.  The firm is a Charlotte-based private equity investment firm founded in 2006 by Hugh McColl Jr., former chairman and CEO of Bank of America, Marc Oken, former CFO of Bank of America, and managing partner Ed McMahan.
