Background
Trevor Edwards is a strategy-and-finance executive whose career spans healthcare investment banking, private equity, and franchise operations. He earned dual bachelor's degrees — a B.S. in Industrial Engineering and a B.S. in Finance — through the Integrated Business and Engineering (IBE) Honors Program at Lehigh University.
He began his career in investment banking, working as an Analyst on the Healthcare Investment Banking team at Citigroup (following a healthcare summer analyst role). He then moved into private equity as an Associate at Revelstoke Capital Partners, a Denver-based, healthcare-focused private equity firm (roughly $5.6B AUM) that builds industry-leading companies in healthcare and related business-services sectors through a disciplined organic-and-acquisition growth strategy. It is this Revelstoke tenure that generated the [hidden] contact record in the stub data.
In 2021, Edwards joined Empire Portfolio Group — a New York City-based area representative and franchisee that owns and operates 140+ Orangetheory Fitness studios across the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic, and Carolinas (founded 2013, led by founder/CEO Adam Krell). He was responsible for M&A and strategic initiatives, and was promoted to Vice President, Strategy and Finance (as of January 2024), where he continues to lead corporate development and financial strategy.
Investment Thesis & Focus
- Professional background is in buy-side private equity and corporate M&A, not angel/seed investing — the "Angel Investors / Seed Round" designation in the source record is unverified and appears to be a database mislabel.
- At Revelstoke, focus was consistent with the firm's thesis: healthcare and related business services, executed via platform acquisitions plus add-on ("buy-and-build") acquisitions.
- At Empire Portfolio Group, focus is on health & wellness / fitness franchise operations and add-on acquisitions — expanding studio footprint and integrating acquired businesses.
- Emphasis on M&A execution, financial strategy, and integration rather than writing early-stage checks into startups.
Notable Investments
- Empire Portfolio Group — Relive Health (2023): Empire's expansion into health & wellness; Edwards publicly announced "Empire Portfolio welcomes Relive Health," a deal aligned with his M&A/strategy remit.
- Empire Portfolio Group — Orangetheory Fitness studios: Ongoing acquisition and operation of 140+ Orangetheory studios across multiple states, the core of Empire's platform.
- Revelstoke Capital Partners portfolio: As an Associate, he supported healthcare and business-services platform and add-on acquisitions (Revelstoke has completed 60+ acquisitions since 2013); specific deals attributable to him individually are not publicly documented.
