Cortina Capital Partners LLC
Cortina Capital Partners is a private investment vehicle focused on acquiring lower middle market private companies between $1 - $10 million of TTM EBITDA. Cortina Capital Partners takes a different approach to traditional private equity: Cortina does not participate in banked or brokered processes but rather sources their deals directly from owners. Cortina is a value investor; we typically pay under 4x EBITDA for our businesses. Cortina takes deep operational involvement in each business, often replacing the ownership rapidly after closing. Cortina focuses exclusively on fragmented markets where add-on acquisitions are abundant. Cortina Capital is owned and managed by Carlo Santelli (c@cortinacapitalpartners.com / 973-704-9481).
