About Us
Investment Strategy: Government
Our principals have an unusual combination of experience as successful investors in businesses in which government plays an important role in the value chain, as union advisors and officials and as senior municipal government officials. We believe our experience in government and network of relationships allows us to assess and to manage complex situations where other investors may flounder or turn away.
Government contractors and companies in industries driven by government procurement, policies or subsidies have a set of common issues which we specialize in addressing:
Long sales cycles
A private equity investor must have the patience to understand long sales cycles. We have the patience, experience, relationships and skills.
Political risk
Few middle-market private equity firms have the experience and insight to assess and value political risks. We do.
Unusual financing requirements
The participation of federal, state and local governments and governmental agencies often means unpredictable and lumpy cash flows. This can lead to unusual financing challenges. We have experience in structuring around these challenges.
Unique employee-relations and incentive issues
Employees often are mission-driven as well as profit-driven. We have experience aligning mission and economic incentives to assure quality services to customers, beneficial outcomes to employees and profitable operations for a company.
