Staple Street Capital
Staple Street Capital is a private equity firm that invests in middle market businesses where we can partner with motivated and proven management teams to create value. We invest in companies that are seeking to pursue untapped market opportunities, enter or exit markets, make acquisitions, reposition certain business lines and/or implement other strategic or operational changes that will lead to greater profitability and long-term growth. We are comfortable investing in change intensive situations that require industry/operational expertise or creative structuring to unlock value. We leverage an extensive network of operating executives to help us quickly complete due diligence, close transactions and support our management partners post-closing. Typical transaction types include: management-led buyouts, corporate divestitures, acquisitions of family-owned businesses, public-to-privates, operational or financial restructurings and recapitalizations. We typically target companies with $50-$500 million of revenues, where we can invest up to $55 million per deal from our fund ($75+ million with our active L.P. co-investment program).
