Martis Capital shops Care Hospice, Tritium Partners’ RVshare rebounds as travelers look for different kind of holiday, Blackstone on cusp of closing $4bn sophomore GP stakes fund

Morning!

PE Hub has been exploring ways private equity portfolio companies are adjusting to the pandemic downturn, tweaking operations to help in the coronavirus fight and find ways to continue generating revenue.

Tritium Partners-backed RVshare experienced business decline like many other travel-related companies in the population lockdown. But more recently, the company has rebounded as Americans choose a different sort of vacation, taking their homes with them on the road, writes Karishma Vanjani on PE Hub.

The company furloughed one-third of its workers, downsized staff by 10 percent, renegotiated contracts and delayed payments with vendors to find relief as revenue dried up, Karishma said. The company also began renting its vehicles to doctors, immuno-compromised individuals, hospitals and utility companies, which the company called “relief bookings.” Read Karishma’s story here.
