Establishes GreenVest as Godspeed’s New Environmental Platform

Leading Provider of Ecological Restoration, Compensatory Mitigation, Resilience, and Environmental Consulting Services Positioned to Benefit from Growing Demand for Nature-Based Solutions

Brett Berkley Appointed Chief Executive Officer of GreenVest

BOWIE, Md.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Godspeed Capital Management LP (“Godspeed Capital” or “Godspeed”), a lower middle-market Defense & Government services, solutions, and technology-focused private equity firm, today announced the acquisition of GreenVest (the “Company”), a leading provider of ecological restoration, compensatory mitigation, stormwater management, nature-based resilience, and environmental consulting services. In conjunction with the announcement, GreenVest Senior Vice President Brett Berkley has been appointed Chief Executive Officer of the platform. Financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed.

Headquartered in Bowie, Maryland, GreenVest is a recognized leader in delivering environmental infrastructure solutions that restore, protect, and enhance natural ecosystems while helping public and private sector customers meet increasingly complex regulatory and environmental objectives. The Company provides a comprehensive suite of services spanning compensatory wetland and stream mitigation, Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (“MS4”) mitigation, permitting and regulatory compliance, stormwater management, and nature-based resilience projects. Since its founding, GreenVest has developed a strong reputation for technical excellence, innovative project delivery, and long-term stewardship across some of the most environmentally sensitive and strategically important watersheds throughout the Mid-Atlantic and Northeastern United States.

GreenVest will serve as the foundational platform for building a leading environmental infrastructure and restoration business. Godspeed intends to partner closely with management to accelerate organic growth, invest in talent and capabilities, and pursue strategic acquisitions that expand GreenVest’s geographic footprint, service offerings, and customer relationships.

“We are excited to partner with the GreenVest team to execute the next phase of the Company’s evolution,” said Doug Lake, Founder and Managing Partner at Godspeed Capital. “GreenVest has established itself as a market leader at the intersection of environmental restoration, regulatory compliance, and sustainable green infrastructure. With strong demand for watershed protection, resilience investments, and nature-based solutions, we believe GreenVest is exceptionally well-positioned for both near- and long-term growth.”

“GreenVest has established a highly differentiated position in an attractive, fragmented market supported by favorable long-term environmental and regulatory tailwinds,” said James Reid, Partner at Godspeed Capital. “We see a compelling opportunity to build on GreenVest’s technical reputation, execution capabilities, and culture by investing behind organic growth, expanding service capabilities, and pursuing strategic acquisitions that broaden the platform’s geographic reach and customer relationships.”

“GreenVest has always been driven by a mission to create lasting environmental value while helping our customers navigate complex ecological and regulatory challenges,” said Doug Lashley, Founder of GreenVest. “We are thrilled to partner with Godspeed, whose strategic vision, sector expertise, and growth-oriented approach make them the ideal partner to help expand GreenVest’s impact and reach.”

“Godspeed brings significant experience in building and scaling specialized services businesses, along with a deep appreciation for our culture, technical capabilities, and customer-first approach,” said Brett Berkley, Chief Executive Officer of GreenVest. “Together, we will continue investing in our people and pursuing new opportunities to better serve our clients.”

GreenVest represents Godspeed’s latest platform investment in Fund III, following the recent formations of JP Donovan Construction and GALT Aerospace that reinforce the firm’s commitment to partnering with market-leading businesses that provide mission-critical solutions addressing long-term secular growth trends. The acquisition further expands Godspeed’s presence in environmental infrastructure and positions the firm to capitalize on increasing investments in resiliency, watershed restoration, environmental compliance, and sustainable infrastructure development nationwide.
