Our Legacy

The Perot family has a long history of starting and growing successful companies as well as investing in great companies founded by others. Our legacy dates back to the Perot family’s simple beginnings in Texarkana, Texas. Ross Perot began his entrepreneurial journey in 1962 by founding Electronic Data Systems (EDS). His vision essentially created the Information Technology (IT) services sector, an industry which today generates over a trillion dollars in revenue worldwide. Mr. Perot took EDS public in 1968 and later merged the company with General Motors. Subsequently, Mr. Perot and his son, Ross Perot, Jr. started and led Perot Systems, an IT services company. Perot Systems went public in 1999 and was acquired by Dell Inc. in 2009. Ross Perot, Jr. is also the founder and chairman of Hillwood, a real estate investment and development company ranked among the top 10 residential land developers in the United States.

Ross Perot is an American success story, one whose influence will continue to endure through the countless lives he touched worldwide. His contributions spanned the fields of business, the military, education, politics and philanthropy. To learn more about his life and legacy, please follow this link, www.rossperot.com.

What our Partners say:

Ashish Arora, CEO at Cricut

"As the Cricut CEO since 2012, I have worked extremely closely with the Petrus team. Petrus has provided valuable leadership and guidance to us as a private and public company. The Petrus team has been involved in financial and operational planning, key hiring decisions, capital structure review and overall strategy. Petrus has a wonderful blend of being detail-oriented and high level. Their long-term view has been super important as Cricut has grown its revenues from $50 million in 2013 to well over $800 million today."

“I partnered with Perot in 2015, when radio was going through some tough times. The Perot team was great. They supported me every step of the way. They kept out of the kitchen and let me do my job … and we ultimately got to a good place. You learn a lot about people when times are tough. When the bullets start flying, I want Perot in my foxhole. They were true partners. I loved working with them and I would gladly do it again.”

Jeff Warshaw, CEO at Virtuoso Acquisition Corp

“The Perot organization is everything one would want in an investor: creative, collaborative, and intellectually honest. Since Vector’s very beginning 25 years ago, Perot has been a steadfast source of capital, advice, and perspective. I wouldn’t have been able to build our firm into what it is today without their long-term partnership.”
