A Focus On Long-Term Growth
We specialize in supporting companies that have demonstrated market acceptance of their product or service, are on a robust growth trajectory, and will continue to grow into solid middle market businesses with a little help.
Unlike other firms, our team works exclusively with growth-stage businesses, not start-ups or turn-around situations, meaning we’re focused on what you’re focused on.
We understand that one size doesn’t fit all and that every situation is unique. We are selective about each investment we make and ensure we fully understand the needs of our partners so we can provide the kind of support and senior-level attention that maximize results for business owners.
With that in mind, we can structure our growth investments according to your needs, including:
- Non-Control Expansion Capital for Founder-Led Businesses
- Buyouts of Corporate Subsidiaries
- Majority Recapitalizations
- Management Buyouts
