$7 to $20 Million in Annual Sales

Once we have made an investment, we do everything possible to help ensure the success of each portfolio company as we have an “invested” interest to do so.

$500,000+ EBIDTA

Our investments are typically structured as equity or mezzanine debt with warrant options for minority equity participations, flexible amortization schedules, and flexible repayment terms. We consider a company’s individual needs to tailor alternative capital structures, which may include equity in the form of preferred or common stock, success fees, royalties, or a combination thereof.

Investment size from $1 to $5 Million

Larger equity needs, in excess of our investment limit, can be addressed through our ability to originate and participate in syndications with other venture investors. Our established network of regional and national private equity firms, senior lenders and investment bankers provides us with the ability to structure financing packages well in excess of our investment limit.

Experienced Management

We seek to invest in companies with experienced, committed management teams and an exciting or unique market opportunity which offers excellent growth potential.

Based in the Midwest

We are industry agnostic for companies based in the Midwest. We invest in companies that have strong management teams and favorable industry dynamics.

" We welcome being called upon by management to provide ongoing assistance in most any situation. Not every venture will require the same degree of assistance, but we take very seriously our commitment to help our portfolio companies grow and prosper. Building a strong working relationship between management and investors is not only mutually satisfying but is usually a key to a company’s success and the ultimate achievement of our mutual objectives.
