Guhan Swaminathan was making a good living in the world of high finance, buying and selling companies for financial titan Goldman Sachs and later for WestBridge Capital Partners. But as an employee of a large firm, “a lot of the entrepreneurial excitement of making these investments was gone,” says Swaminathan, 32. So in 2005, he and colleague Hemanth Parasuram, 30, started Virgo Capital, a private equity firm that closed its first fund of $50 million last year.

Virgo Capital has doubled its portfolio of technology-based companies by buying a majority stake in California based iProfile, a “business intelligence” research firm, officials said Thursday in Oklahoma City.

With iProfile, Virgo has added a company with offices in Palo Alto, Calif., and London that packages information about the IT departments of some of the largest companies in the United States and Europe. It sells that information through a subscription service to sales and marketing organizations targeting the sector.

When Virgo Capital was organized as a private equity company last year, managing director Hemanth Parasuram said the company would invest in mature companies that might need investment capital to expand their business operations.

Virgo made good on that mission Wednesday by announcing that it has bought Oklahoma City-based Accord Human Resources for an undisclosed amount. Accord has been ranked as one of the nation’s 10 largest privately-held professional employer organizations and listed four times on Inc. magazine’s list of America’s fastest growing companies.

Deal fees, monitoring fees and exit fees have become big business for buyout firms. Case in point: The Blackstone Group recently paid itself a $200 million deal fee for the $39 billion buyout of Equity Office Properties Trust, keeping half for itself per its deal with limited partners.

Surprisingly, a handful of buyout firms decline to charge such fees, although they’re hardly motivated by a desire for martyrdom. Veteran firms Hellman & Friedman LLC, San Francisco, and Warburg Pincus LLC, New York, along with start-up Virgo Capital, with offices in Oklahoma City, Okla., and Austin, Texas, either don’t charge their portfolio companies fees or, in the case of H&F and Warburg Pincus, do so only when participating in club deals (in which case they either give 100 percent to their limited partners or use the fees to buy additional equity).

A new private-equity firm with a $50 million fund has arrived in Austin. Virgo Capital is scouting services and technology companies that sell to the financial services industry.

The firm is led by former Goldman Sachs investment bankers Guhan Swaminathan, who is based in Austin, and Hemanth Parasuram, based in Oklahoma City.

Oklahoma City-based Virgo Capital Fund LLP has crossed another milestone in raising investment capital, its founding partners said Friday. Virgo Capital recently closed on the second round of capital investment that puts nearly $50 million under its management.

Virgo Capital was founded last year by Hemanth Parasuram, 29, and Guhan Swaminathan, 31, two former Goldman Sachs investment bankers.

When Richard Wilkes was introduced to a pair of young former Goldman Sachs investment bankers last year, he was impressed by their audacious goal to build a $75 million private capital investment fund in Oklahoma City.

“The venture capital business is dominated by youthful people,” said Wilkes, a Houston-based financial consultant and former president of the Texas Mortgage Bankers Association. “These are exceptionally bright guys.” So when Virgo Capital co-founders Hemanth Parasuram, 28, and Guhan Swaminathan, 31, asked Wilkes to serve as the chairman of their advisory board, he didn’t hesitate to sign on.
