YoungWilliams Announces Strategic Investment from Godspeed, Closes Acquisition of Maximus’ Child Support Portfolio

Establishes YoungWilliams as Godspeed’s New State & Local Government IT Outsourcing Platform Focused on Federally Funded, State Administered Assistance Programs

Ridgeland, Mississippi – October 6th, 2026 – YoungWilliams HC, Inc. (“YoungWilliams” or the “Company”), a leading provider of outsourced case management, program administration, and IT services specializing in federally funded, state administered assistance programs such as child support, SNAP, and TANF, today announced that it has received a strategic investment from Godspeed Capital Management LP (“Godspeed Capital”), a lower middle-market government services, solutions, and technology-focused private equity firm. The financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed.

Through this investment, Godspeed Capital has partnered with YoungWilliams’ founder and CEO Rob Wells, CFO Dale Currie, and their leadership team to establish the Company as the platform brand of a new state & local government technology-enabled services and solutions provider, with a primary focus on child support and other federally funded, but state administered, community-centric programs. YoungWilliams will continue to leverage its 30+ years of expertise serving its state and local government clients with a comprehensive technology-based approach to improve productivity, enhance program performance, lower overall government expenditures, and deliver better outcomes for all constituents.

In addition, YoungWilliams recently acquired a portfolio of assets from Maximus, Inc. (NYSE: MMS) which includes the entirety of its child support, employer new hire, national medical support notice, and hospital paternity acknowledgement outsourcing contracts, along with the associated technologies and infrastructure, including ~285 employees and contracted staff. Through this transaction, YoungWilliams gains new capabilities and programs, expands its geographic reach, and further enhances its support of existing state & local government customers. YoungWilliams is proud to be expanding within its core child support services market and looks forward to continuing to support its key customers and partners to deliver superior results. This transaction marks the first add-on acquisition for YoungWilliams following Godspeed’s investment in the Company.

Founded in 1993 and headquartered in Ridgeland, Mississippi, YoungWilliams has established itself as the premier child support case management firm in the United States. Over its history, the Company has built a distinguished reputation as a trusted colleague and advisor to state & local governments with deep subject matter expertise, a proven set of high-end capabilities and technology, and a talented team of over 1,500 employees. YoungWilliams now operates a diverse portfolio of contracts across 21 states, with a demonstrated history of delivering best-in-class results in full-service child support case management, outsourced call center operations, and automated payment processing solutions among other critical support services.

Godspeed Capital will leverage its extensive experience building leading platforms in the government services and technology sectors through both organic and inorganic strategies to assist in driving YoungWilliams’ continued growth. Through its proven buy-and-build strategy, and as of the announcement of the YoungWilliams investment, Godspeed Capital has established fourteen platform businesses across three funds with a primary focus on founder-led businesses operating at the intersection of the public and private sectors.

Founder & CEO, Rob Wells, is continuing in his current role leading the new platform. He is supported by longtime YoungWilliams executive, Dale Currie, who is continuing to serve as CFO, alongside YoungWilliams’ seasoned and experienced management team. Together, the YoungWilliams team is working with Godspeed Capital to further expand the platform’s geographic reach, enhance business development, broaden services and technology offerings, and capitalize on significant market opportunities in the outsourcing of state administered assistance programs.

“We are extremely pleased and excited to partner with the Godspeed team to support us as we continue to grow and expand our reach with our state partners by providing them with critical services and technology to more effectively and efficiently operate the programs they administer,” said Rob Wells, CEO of YoungWilliams. “Godspeed Capital’s proven track record of partnering with government services, solutions, and technology-focused firms, along with the additional capital resources they bring to the table, will provide us with increased opportunities to further develop our management team and expand our existing suite of capabilities and contracts as we look to enter new geographic markets and more fully address our clients’ needs.”

“For over 30 years, YoungWilliams has served as a leader in the outsourced operation of critical state administered assistance programs such as child support, thanks to its experienced executive management team and impressive track record within a growing market for state & local government outsourced services,” added Douglas T. Lake, Jr., Founder & Managing Partner of Godspeed Capital. “YoungWilliams marks another new platform investment for Godspeed Capital Fund III, and we are thrilled to partner with Rob, Dale, and their team to further cement YoungWilliams as a leading provider of outsourced government services and operations through organic and inorganic growth strategies to include add-on acquisitions.”

“We firmly believe YoungWilliams is poised to capitalize on favorable trends in the privatization of state & local government assistance programs,” said Nathaniel T. Fogg, Partner at Godspeed Capital. “As the incumbent leader in the outsourced administration and optimization of such programs, YoungWilliams is uniquely positioned to address the challenges presented to its government partners, including workforce constraints, outdated technology assets, inefficiencies, and budgetary pressures.”

“Our investment in YoungWilliams marks a critical step for Godspeed Capital in developing a new state & local government outsourced services and technology platform,” said Jake Sliman, Principal at Godspeed Capital. “Through supporting the team with strategic add-on acquisitions such as the carve-out from Maximus, we are seeking to help YoungWilliams accelerate growth. Their leadership team is a distinct pleasure to work with, and we are very excited to partner with Rob and Dale in this next chapter of the Company’s growth.”
