About
Sabrina Chandrani
As the daughter of small business owners, I spent my career working with companies of all sizes, always with the goal of leading one myself. I believe strong businesses led with purpose create economic opportunity and build more resilient communities. I launched Crescent Partners to operate a great company in partnership with a founder—preserving their legacy while continuing to grow what they’ve built.
My entrepreneurial roots run deep. I grew up helping in my parents’ convenience stores in upstate NY— learning firsthand grit, humility, and respect for the work it takes to build something lasting.
At Accenture, I managed multimillion-dollar projects for Fortune 500 clients, driving operational improvements and strategic initiatives. I later joined early-stage companies in sleep medicine, childcare, and hospice—helping them scale teams, streamline operations, and grow.
Throughout my life, I’ve watched family members pour themselves into businesses they started from scratch. That exposure drives my approach to succession; one grounded in responsibility and a long-term view. I founded Crescent Partners with a team of mentors—entrepreneurs, business owners, and investors—who share this vision.
I hold an Economics degree from NYU and an MBA from Stanford GSB. Outside of work, I enjoy weightlifting, salsa, Vipassana meditation, and time with my family and friends.
What makes Crescent Partners different?
I come from a family of founder operators and have a deep respect for their work and legacy
Built on a personal 1:1 relationship
We are not a private equity company or large faceless institution. I am looking for one company to dedicate my career to and you will get to know me directly.
We bring more than just capital
Having run family and operator-owned businesses ourselves, we care about legacy. We admire those who have built from the ground up and want to grow upon that strong foundation. Because I will be investing 100% of my time on the next phase of the business, I care about the existing team, the reputation you've built, and the mission of the organization.
Together, we craft a roadmap for your company
Our investment should reflect your goals — whether that means unlocking liquidity for retirement, bringing in fresh leadership and resources, or simply gaining time to focus on what’s next. We invest in majority positions and are flexible about your future role. Whether you're ready to step back or want to remain involved, we want to tailor a structure that fits your vision.
Focused on the long term
We don’t buy to flip. We invest to build — steadily, sustainably, and with the long game in mind. Our focus isn’t on quick exits, but on growing companies with care, purpose, and integrity.
