Hawthorn Equity Partners is a leading middle-market private equity firm launched in 2005. By integrating our multiple skills and experience, we have invested across a range of industries, investment types, company development stages, and economic cycles to build successful companies. Notably, we specialize in complicated situations with companies that require growth and expansion capital, recapitalizations, brand revitalizations, inter-generational transfers, restructuring, bankruptcy transactions, carve-outs, and industry consolidations. We are also capable of making larger investments by leveraging our deep relationships with strategic co-investors. Our focus and proven experience in implementing situation-specific governance give us the flexibility to invest in controlling as well as structured minority transactions. Our long history of forming enduring partnerships and track record of successful investing is what gives us the advantage. Our proactive, collaborative, and creative approach is what makes us successful.
