Founded in 2019, LongRange Capital was formed to take a longer-term perspective to investing and building stronger middle market businesses through a company-focused and customer-first philosophy. Our investment professionals have a demonstrated track record of success and collectively bring 50+ years of investing experience. Our focus is on creating and delivering value.
We are currently investing a highly flexible $1.5 billion committed capital pool backed by long-term institutional investors. Our capital offers the flexibility to be either a majority or minority owner as well as a partner to corporations, families, business leaders and other shareholders. We have significant experience navigating challenging operating environments, complex ownership and company dynamics, and utilize our flexibility to meet the unique needs of each situation.
We thrive on addressing the specific needs of businesses and partnering with our portfolio companies to ensure that the capital structure, management, strategy, resources, execution, and incentives are aligned to achieve our collective goals.
LongRange invests in opportunities to partner with management in driving growth and value creation through operational enhancements and strategic initiatives. In addition to structural flexibility, we have the ability to invest across different industries and geographies. Our targeted investments in private companies include the following selected criteria:
Our principals have a long track record of assisting management teams in developing better businesses through a variety of value-creating initiatives. Several of our team members have direct operating experience and bring a differentiated approach of working directly with management to assist portfolio companies in delivering greater value to their customers and being rewarded for doing so. We are not financial engineers and we view excessive leverage as an increased and unnecessary risk to the business.
LongRange has significant expertise in using data, analytics and technology to improve operations, and ultimately, to deliver better service to customers, which will be extremely valuable as we identify and invest in new opportunities for sustainable growth.
