Working collaboratively with family business owners and management teams

Focusing on complex transactions in the lower middle market

Crossplane Capital focuses on complex transactions involving strategically unique, lower middle market businesses that could benefit from the firm’s proven approach to value creation. Targeted situations include corporate carve-outs, restructurings, bankruptcies, partnering with family owned businesses seeking an operationally oriented partner, and other special situations including business restarts.

Leveraging experience and a proven playbook to drive value creation

Our cross-functional senior team has worked together for more than a decade and has deep experience as senior operating executives, operational improvement consultants, strategy consultants and restructuring advisors. These roles have honed critical skills required to drive company performance and maximize returns to investors.  We work collaboratively with each portfolio company executive team to implement value creation plans and address complex challenges with a proven operating and strategy playbook.

Aligning incentives to maximize returns to investors

To ensure the best possible alignment with our investors, we seek to be among the largest investors in the funds we manage. We strive to create partnerships with family business owners who are willing to roll over a significant equity stake and management teams who are motivated by transformational results and aligned incentives. We do not charge our portfolio companies monitoring fees. This keeps cash in the business to help fuel growth and equity appreciation.
