Shield

Shield is building a world-class network of high-performing IT services businesses across the country. Our mission is to help our partners build generational businesses that take care of their employees and serve as a strategic force for their customers. We preserve the leadership, culture, and brand that make each MSP unique—while unlocking national leverage in technology, talent, and capital. Our partners gain access to AI technology, operational expertise, M&A support, and other resources to scale both organically and inorganically. We invest with intent and patience, backing the platforms and people that create durable advantages over decades. With a strong group of early partnerships and the backing of Thrive Holdings and ZBS Partners, Shield is creating the next generation IT Services platform.
