Firm
We strive to invest in good businesses in the middle market and, in partnership with talented management teams and other key stakeholders, create great companies.
Investment Approach
We pride ourselves on being Partnership Investors, committed to a relationship-driven approach to private equity. This philosophy is deeply embedded in our founding values, our culture, and our organizational DNA.
We view private equity as more than just a transaction; it’s a collaborative problem-solving journey. By applying our capital, intellectual resources, and extensive experience, we enable companies, management teams, and business owners to achieve their differentiated objectives in partnership with us.
We believe in the power of alignment with our management and seller partners, based on shared objectives and a foundation of trust.
Our aim is to be the preferred partner in the situations we pursue, distinguished by our collaborative style of engagement and commitment to tailored solutions.
We approach each investment in a bespoke fashion, leveraging our core capabilities in value creation and business building.
We seek to attract exceptional talent who are drawn to our values-based culture and partnership ethos.
Investment Strategy
We seek to invest in good businesses in the middle market with the goal of transforming them into great companies.
We operate in the middle market, investing in businesses with enterprise values up to $1.5 billion.
We target four primary sectors: Technology, Business Services, Financial Services, and Consumer.
Our Focus
We focus on companies with High Business Quality: attractive business models with strong economics, revenue defensibility and durability, and material competitive strength - both in “tried and true” areas as well as “hidden gem” opportunities.
We look for opportunities that leverage our Well-Established Value Creation Strategies: buy and builds, business transformations, and growth enablements.
We get involved in situations that fit with our Partnership-Centric Approach.
