Investment thesis
Lake House is a global, industry-agnostic private investment company that supports businesses at every stage — from distressed and turnaround situations to fast-growing companies looking to scale. It emphasizes a creative, intuitive approach that goes beyond pure financials, distinguishing itself from typical private equity firms by acting as a collaborative partner to senior management. The firm generally acquires a minimum 50% stake in the businesses it backs. With a heritage in real estate, media, technology, transportation, and internet sectors, Lake House remains open to opportunities across industries. To date it has been involved in projects and investments exceeding US$15 billion across 15 countries.
