What We Offer
Transparency
You will receive direct access to decision-makers, without any external pressure from an investment committee.
We have significant experience working directly with founder-owned businesses during a sale, and will ensure a seamless process.
Long Term Focus
Unlike traditional private equity funds, 100% of CrestLake's efforts will be focused on the acquired company and creating long-term sustainable growth.
We are supported by an investor base that provides patient capital and is not solely focused on driving returns.
Flexibility
CrestLake can provide a transaction that can be tailored to your specific needs.
Liquidity & Resources
CrestLake offers a seller the capability to monetize all or a piece of their equity stake while being flexible to the seller's needs.
Our funding structuring allows us to target an investment size between $10 to $100 million, with the capacity to access additional capital as needed to fund further growth.
People First Culture
CrestLake knows that people are the heart and soul of any business. We will prioritize the company culture fostered by the seller and ensure a long lasting legacy.
Who
We Are
Our Background
We are lifelong friends, who met in college at the George Washington University. Both of us went on to have successful careers in both finance and corporate law but soon realized that we were meant for the entrepreneurial path.
We want to leverage the skills we developed on how to grow companies from a high level and combine those with getting our hands dirty at the operational level to drive real change. We are driven by building great teams and creating positive outcomes for the long term. Entrepreneurship is in our blood and we want to continue that legacy.
