Experts at creating value in the middle market

For us, investing is about partnership. We have spent our careers investing in the middle market, working closely with family owners, founders and management teams. We apply our capital and experience to help management teams take their business to the next level, faster. If you are thinking about any of the following, we should talk:

  • Entrepreneur or family succession
  • Recapitalizations
  • Corporate carve-outs
  • Management buyouts
