Investment thesis
Mill Road Capital brings private equity governance and skills to small public companies. Its funds are structured as private equity vehicles that can invest in publicly traded equity and debt, provide primary capital of any type to support growth or deleveraging, and partner with management to take companies private. The firm shifts focus among investment types depending on market conditions and valuations. Its distinctive approach emphasizes lengthy due diligence and scaling investment size progressively as understanding of the target grows. Mill Road targets high-quality companies it believes are misunderstood and mispriced by public markets, using long-term committed capital to support management's pursuit of long-term value creation.
