  Overview
 
We are a New York based private equity firm that provides expansion capital to rapidly growing small and mid-sized businesses with market leading potential. We target those industries experiencing rapid growth or undergoing fundamental change in the areas of outsourced services, healthcare, and technology.

We emphasize the concept of partnership investing; developing strong partnerships with outstanding entrepreneurs and assuming equal responsibility for building value. Our investment funds primarily invest in later stage growth companies (with sales in excess of $5 million), management buyouts, platform acquisition strategies, and recapitalizations.

We serve as general partner of investment partnerships with over $400 million of capital under management. We are currently investing from two funds with total capital of approximately $200 million. Since our founding in 1988, we have invested in over 100 companies in our targeted areas of focus. We take an active role in assisting our portfolio companies and have helped them achieve over 60 successful exits including IPO’s, public offerings, strategic sales and recaps.
