280 Capital Partners' strategy is to invest in a limited number of technology driven companies where the Managing Directors, in partnership with existing company management, can create significant shareholder value through the execution of both operational and strategic initiatives.
We are one of the few mid-market technology focused private equity firms with a business model based upon the tight integration of experienced private equity professionals and CEO level operating professionals with demonstrated track records of excellence. This experience brings a host of advantages to the companies in which we invest, including extraordinary networks, broad and deep domain knowledge, comprehensive investing and transaction skills, and robust operational and strategic value creation capabilities. These tools are indispensable sources of value even (or especially) when market growth or financial engineering drivers are insufficient. In short, we believe these strategies are the building blocks for fundamental value creation.
It is important to understand that we are management friendly – we serve as active board directors, coaches and mentors to company management. Our interest and intent is not to become involved in daily operations.
We offer the following value proposition to companies and investors/owners:
- For selling equity owners:
Extensive transaction experience, deep domain knowledge, and fully integrated in-house team means transactions are concluded with minimal distraction and maximum efficiency at a fair value
- For participating equity owners and company management:
The opportunity to leverage 280 Capital’s substantial, proven shareholder value creation capabilities to assist management in accelerating the growth and increasing the profitability of the company
