Our Company
Our ambition is to serve working-class people and make money for our shareholders.
We are a direct lending platform that uses data analytics to deploy capital and services to middle market businesses.
We believe demand for capital investment and managerial assistance are particularly acute among middle market companies located in overlooked places.
We intend to create a portfolio of investments across a range of industries and communities to mitigate certain risks and achieve our investment objectives.
Our Solutions
Our place-based strategy integrates localized data to help investment decision makers turn knowledge into action.
Investments
We invest in growing middle market businesses. Through our financial expertise and place-based resources, we aim to deploy capital to stimulate economic growth and create long-term value.
Analytics
We know the economic opportunity in a community or market is contingent on local dynamics. By gathering and analyzing data, we are better equipped to make informed decisions that drive positive outcomes for our portfolio companies.
Managerial Assistance
We see worker challenges and deliver managerial assistance that seeks to improve employee well-being, retention, and productivity through hands-on strategic guidance, operational expertise, and a network of established service providers.
