Private Equity Firms

Background: We are a Cleveland-based lower middle market firm that focuses on control-oriented leveraged buyout and growth equity investments in fast-growing companies based primarily in the Great Lakes region. Typically sub-$5M EBITDA. We focus primarily in the verticals of business services, tech-enabled services, value added distribution and assembly, and training, compliance, and education, bringing operational expertise and strategic resources to scale their growth potential and build long-term value. Our managing partners have deep experience in micro-cap and lower middle market investments over nearly 50 investments (platforms and add-ons combined) and 20 exits. Their experience includes transforming companies through strategic add-ons, professional management, and operational improvements. We pursues a strategy of buying, building, and scaling micro-cap companies to sell to middle-market buyers, focusing on healthy, founder-owned businesses. They use a hands-on approach with an extensive "Codex" repository for best practices in acquisition, management, and exit processes, aiming for non-competitive, direct owner outreach and efficient transaction execution. We are currently raising a committed capital fund (targeting $150M) and are currently investing out of our first close committed capital. We typically use a mixture of fund capital and conservative debt to fund transactions. Our investors also have a strong appetite for co-invest opportunities, if required.
