Yellow Point Equity Partners

About Yellow Point Equity Partners

Yellow Point is a private equity firm with grounded values and deep roots. We are a small and nimble team that works decisively and expeditiously to propose and close transactions. We ask the tough questions, and structure relationships so our resources and skills complement those of our management partners. We are enthusiastic partners who are hands-off for day-to-day operations, but active when it comes to strategic decisions and board work. As highly engaged board members, we advise on strategy, provide access to specialist resources and talent, and participate in major financial decisions. We work openly and transparently with our partners and provide a supportive, friendly sounding board for ideas. We have extensive experience in capital market transactions and will generally lead disposition efforts, reducing the burden and distraction they can otherwise be to management. Investment Criteria -MANAGEMENT We believe strong companies are built by strong managers; managers who possess a vision for their company, are willing to take a material ownership stake, and operate with openness, honesty, and integrity. These are the management partners we seek. -INDUSTRIES We invest in and support growth in a diverse array of industries including business services, distribution, energy, healthcare, industrial, and manufacturing, to name a few. We do not invest in real estate, resource extraction, or early-stage start-ups. -SITUATION We are open to a variety of opportunities including management buyouts, succession planning, growth capital, recapitalizations, spin-offs, and going-private transactions. -GEOGRAPHY Our focus is on Canada and the Pacific Northwest United States. -SIZE We typically gravitate towards companies with revenues between $20 million and $350 million (smaller for add-on acquisitions), strong free cash flow, and considerable growth prospects.
