History

The formation of Centripetal Capital Partners LLC represents the combination years of investment and management experience with the nuances and demands of today’s investing environment and opportunities.

Each member of the Investment Team has over 25 years of investment and management experience and during that time they have learned that the highest returns are derived when “smart money�or value-added capital is injected into companies at critical moments of growth opportunity. The benefits of such timely investments are not just those garnered by investors, but also those gained by the portfolio company’s management and shareholders.

Traditionally, such opportunities were the near-exclusive territory of large private equity firms in support of large companies operating in a well organized transaction network. Individual private equity investors were left to resort to an adhoc exchange of transactions, often times lacking appropriate due diligence. At the same time, promising small to mid-sized companies were too small to attract professionally managed equity funds and generally too early-stage to secure commercial mezzanine or debt funding. As a result, such companies found themselves under-capitalized, with expensive financing from sources incapable of providing the expertise and support necessary to achieve growth and the full opportunity potential.

Recognizing these deficiencies in the marketplace, the significant investment opportunity to provide capital to growing small to mid-sized companies and the desire by active investors to wisely invest in opportunities with the support of a dedicated investment team, the founding Principals created Centripetal Capital Partners, LLC.

At the core of CentriCap’s philosophy are its investing Members. An expanding group of over 20 experienced business people and private investors, they provide resources, advice and contacts to CentriCap’s investment prospects and portfolio companies. It was desire of the Founders to create an environment in which there was an interchange of ideas and opportunities between its Members and CentriCap and among the Members themselves. This, in fact, has occurred and is proving to be the competitive strength that was envisioned. In recognition of this dynamic sharing, CentiCap is structured in such a way that the Members share in a portion of all revenue derived by CentriCap IN ADDITION to the returns the may derive from the direct investment in any particular transaction AND whether or not they make a direct investment in a particular transaction.

The Founders also believe that each investment opportunity must stand on its own, not simply the past track record of a deal team. In the case of a traditional private equity fund, an investor makes a legally binding commitment subject to call, without any input or descent. All too often, those in the investment community have seen equity firms divert from their original strategy. The CentriCap principals have shifted that risk from investor to themselves. Each Member has full discretion over which investments they may chose to participate. As a resulting and added benefit to the Members, they have full use of their funds during the investment phase.
