CAP91 Partners / Co-Investments
We invest non-control equity alongside control sponsors in middle-market buyouts, looking for situations where our knowledge is our edge.
Non-control equity alongside control sponsors in middle-market buyouts.
We invest non-control equity alongside control sponsors in middle-market buyouts, in businesses we understand through long-term knowledge building.
In many cases we have known the company before. That familiarity is what lets us underwrite quickly and maintain our conviction through the hold period.
We are not competing for the deal, and we do not require a lead role.
What we add is a partner who already understands the asset, commits its own capital alongside the sponsor’s, and can be called on for value-added interactions over the hold period.
Three things a sponsor can count on.
Our partners have evaluated hundreds of middle-market businesses across the sectors we invest in. We put that knowledge to work validating a sponsor’s underwriting. A co-investor who can defend the thesis independently is worth considerably more when the plan needs to change.
Co-investment capital is only useful if it is committed when the equity has to be committed. We are built to give a clear answer on a sponsor’s timeline, and a quick no when the opportunity is not a fit.
No control, no board requirement, and nothing that slows the company down. The sponsor runs the investment, and we are available whenever we are useful.
