Investment Criteria
Although Lynwood Capital is not structured like typical private equity or venture capital funds that have hard and fast guidelines, the table below lists some of the criteria for investment opportunities that we generally follow.
Company Size
$1 million to $100 million in value
Industries
Broad and varied, located across the country
Lynwood Capital is most interested in highly focused companies serving niche markets. These are typically companies that are remarkably self-aware and who fully understand their customers and their markets. They are disciplined, staying within the confines of their expertise, with talented and dedicated employees.
We typically do not invest in pure technology risk businesses since they are beyond the scope of our expertise. We will, however, invest in non-technology risk ventures, as well as startups, in partnership with exceptional entrepreneurs who have direct experience in the target industry.
Investment Structures and Situations
Majority control and passive minority investments
Lynwood Capital invests in management buyouts, acquisitions, recapitalizations, corporate divestitures, growth financings, startups, and consolidations. Many of our private equity investments have been so-called “special situations” that do not have universal appeal to venture capital or private equity firms and require an experienced investor who has a patient, buy/build/hold investment mindset. Depending on the situation, the owner(s) may choose to exit the company or remain on in some management capacity.
Fees
Lynwood Capital routinely pays intermediary and buy-side fees.
