High Park Capital Partners is one of the first Canadian search funds established in 2011 by Adrian Bartha and Josh LeBrun. In 2012 they acquired eCompliance, a small eLearning business in Calgary, Canada, and over 7 years formed a new leadership team and ultimately built new eCompliance into one of the world's leading safety SaaS companies, protecting the frontline workers in hazardous industries around the world.
In 2019, Alcumus a leading UK-based risk management company, made a $40m majority investment in eCompliance and Adrian went on to lead their North American operations until 2021 before Alcumus sold to Apax Partners for $1 billion in 2022. In 2020 eCompliance achieved its original mission of helping customers eliminate 1,000,000 workplace injuries. The 100+ safety nerds on staff continue to work hard to get front line workers home safely to their families every day.
Between 2011 and 2019, High Park Capital investors realized a compounded annual rate of return of over 25%, beating the S&P/TSX by 3x over the same period. Today, Josh is now the CEO of Rising Industry Holdings, a business services company in the cannabis and industrial hemp industry. Adrian has transitioned responsibilities in eCompliance and continues to invest in purpose-driven businesses through GoodCapital Partners.
