Strategy

Mt Curve’s investment strategy delivers sustainable value and long-term growth through distinctive insights and proven discipline – the result is enhanced operational excellence and innovation. We leverage the techniques developed from our professional experience to quickly understand the risks and opportunities within a given industry. Each situation is unique in its own right, and as such we thoughtfully address both the owner and firm’s need – whether the transaction is in the form of a majority or minority recapitalization, management buyout, or growth equity investment – to ensure our capital equips the firm with the resources necessary to thrive in the face of the competition and future challenges.

Focus

Mt Curve seeks business owners who are considering retirement, looking to transition ownership over a period of time, or who are looking for capital necessary to assist in the firm’s next level of growth. We focus on companies in attractive, defensible markets that are in need of an equity partner to work alongside management and help pave the path forward. Through this partnership, Mt Curve provides the complete or partial liquidity necessary to navigate the business with the potential to share in the value created.

Approach

Mt Curve’s overarching philosophy is to build value across the entirety of an organization’s stakeholders – for employees, customers, and shareholders alike. We work closely with management teams to ensure as little disruption as possible, complete transactions swiftly and confidentially, and maintain the investment flexibility necessary going forward. We believe productive partnerships and strong management relationships are a cornerstone to a successful outcome.
