Argosy Capital

About Argosy Capital

We have been investing in lower-middle-market advanced manufacturing and business services companies for three decades. We believe we have 5 key differentiators that set us apart from the hundreds of other private equity firms. • Experience: Argosy’s team has been working together for decades. We have 9 partners, including 4 full-time operating partners. No partner has ever left the firm to join another firm, and our partners have on average worked together for 18 years. • Robust Deal Sourcing: Argosy has been focused on lower middle-market companies for 3 decades, and we have built our deal sourcing capabilities around this. We believe we have one of the largest lower-middle-market deal-sourcing databases. • Discipline: We believe that with our deal-sourcing capabilities and our decades of experience, we are able to source high-quality companies poised for growth at reasonable valuations. • Risk Mitigation: Consistent with our past funds, we are using what we believe are conservative capital structures at the company level. We also structure many of our investments with a current return. Both allow us to have downside protection in the event of a downturn or hiccup within the company. • Value Creation: Building upon Argosy’s 30 years of investing experience, our four full-time Operating Partners have built our VAM toolkit of resources available to portfolio company management teams as we partner together to grow and professionalize the businesses in which we invest
