As a firm, we are dedicated to managing a selective number of high quality middle market investments. As experienced, successful private equity investors, we have the knowledge and understanding of how strategic decisions impact business value creation. Through our experience, extensive network of industry contacts and operating partners, we are able to bring resources to our management partners to maximize the economic potential of their business. We have particular expertise in the following investment types:
- Recapitalizations – Entrepreneurs who seek personal liquidity to unlock value created in their business and pursue asset diversification while retaining operating control, allowing them to continue to be "value creators" versus "asset protectors"
- Buyouts of Growth Companies & Divisions – Management teams who want to grow rapidly while reducing operational and financial risks.
- Growth Capital Investments – Positive cash flow companies that need capital and resources to expand their businesses, reduce financial leverage, acquire a competitor or build a facility.
