Investment thesis

o15 Capital Partners deploys private capital with intention to generate both strong financial returns and measurable social and economic impact. Its inaugural Emerging America Credit Opportunities (EACO) Fund I, with nearly $400M in capital, targets private credit and equity investments in lower middle market U.S. companies. The firm backs businesses led by and serving undercapitalized communities, working across sponsor and non-sponsor transactions and providing growth capital at key inflection points. Every investment is assessed through both a financial and an impact lens, with flexible credit and equity structures, market-friendly terms, and meaningful co-investment alongside partners.
