Investment thesis
Boathouse Capital focuses on the lower middle market, offering customized capital structures that combine flexible debt and equity for growth and later-stage businesses. It partners with financial sponsors and founder-led companies, deploying instruments such as subordinated/mezzanine debt, preferred equity, and growth equity to fund organic growth, acquisitions, recapitalizations, and management buyouts. Value creation is central to its approach: it seeks established, scalable companies well-positioned for accelerated growth and tailors solutions to each company's needs and goals, often co-investing alongside sponsors and management teams.
