  • For Owners

    We can provide liquidity as part of a recapitalization or succession plan

    • History of profitability and significant repeat business or recurring revenues
    • Low customer concentration

    • We do not invest in real estate or natural resources businesses. We also do not invest in startups, projects or companies with minimal revenues
    • We prefer situations with underutilized data and potential for operational improvement given the right capital structure and changes in leadership
    • We consider minority investments and control buyouts based on discussions with the seller
