Buying in New England, the Great Lakes, and the Gulf Coast

About the group

Operators who still run MSPs, not a fund.

The managed IT industry is full of talented operators running great businesses alone. The Cyber Harbor Group brings those businesses together under one roof, giving owners a path forward and their clients a stronger platform.

Not private equity

No fund. No clock.

We are not private equity. The Cyber Harbor Group is a consortium of private owners who still run their own firms. There is no fund behind us, no five-year clock, and no mandate to strip a company down before selling it on.

We built and still run MSPs ourselves, so we know what an owner is actually handing over when they sell, and we structure every deal around what works for the owner, the team, and the clients.

Most of the firms buying MSPs today are PE-backed, and they run the same playbook everywhere: consolidate the help desk, thin out the local team, and hand clients a cookie-cutter service. Owners who join us keep their people and their client relationships, and get the platform and back office they need to compete with those firms directly.

How we operate

One platform behind every company.

With operating companies in Boston and on Florida’s Gulf Coast, we combine regional teams with the operational scale of a platform company. Our own technology, shared back-office services, and unified processes let every company focus on serving its clients.
