Highview Capital

About Us

Highview takes a long-term view on companies undergoing a transformation, ranging from situations requiring turnaround or growth. We invest in middle market businesses, across numerous industries, that are facing an inflection point. We drive value through a strategic and operational approach coupled with patient capital and an extremely flexible mandate. Our team’s deep and broad range of experience, coupled with the flexibility of our single capital source (evergreen fund structure, no restriction on hold period), allows us to serve as long-term, constructive partners to management teams and tailor our support to meet the unique needs of every Highview-backed company. Our typical deal criteria is: Opportunity to invest between $25 - $75 million in any given company where the company’s size is between $5 - $30 mm of EBITDA. We look for the following type of investment opportunities: 1) Family/Founder Capital Solutions: Investments in healthy businesses where we actively partner with family or founder owners to execute performance improvement measures. Our evergreen capital affords us the ability to be long-term partners and have longer hold periods than competing private equity firms. Our flexible investment mandate allows us to customize our capital solution to meet the needs of stakeholders seeking either a majority control or minority investment partner. 2) Corporate Carveouts: Acquisitions of non-core operations or product/service lines where we leverage prior experience and our single capital source to affect carveouts from larger corporate parents on an expedited basis. We leverage our operational resources to quickly transform the operation into a well-performing standalone business with appropriate infrastructure to support long-term success. 3) Value-Oriented Buyouts: Control acquisitions of healthy businesses where we are able to acquire businesses at reasonable valuations (based on earnings/cash flow multiples, not revenue multiples). We seek businesses that can realize value creation through improved strategic planning, operational optimization initiatives, or can benefit from additional capital to support organic & inorganic growth strategies. 4) Special Situations: Investments in companies with a fundamental reason for being that need assistance through challenging situations including companies requiring a turnaround plan / financial restructuring, addressing liquidity challenges, or managing through one-time events (management missteps, poor M&A, lost customers, etc.)
