Welcome to Align Capital

Align Capital is a private merchant banking firm focused on providing growth capital and growth strategies to small and medium-sized enterprises.

We have a flexible mandate and seek private investment opportunities that the market - with its near-term, transaction-based approach - often overlooks. Because our approach is, fundamentally, about long-term partnerships with businesses we have the ability to look at investments based on their growth potential and not merely their current performance. This perspective enables us to identify opportunities based on both their competitive advantages and our ability to have a positive impact on their success.

As our name implies, at the heart of Align Capital is an ownership mentality that binds our interests with those of our portfolio companies and client partners. This approach guides every aspect of our work. It is precisely because their success is our primary concern that the companies we work with view us first and foremost as their partners.

Principal Investing and Principal Advice

Align Capital's primary objective is helping our portfolio companies, and select client partners, achieve their potential. Our partners have deep experience in doing exactly that: identifying investment opportunities, working with management teams to build and execute growth strategies, and ultimately, creating value that is both substantial and sustainable.

We view the two aspects of our business - investing and advice - as complementary: as principal investors our focus is on investing in growth. Our experience as both managers and investors allows us to select the most attractive industries for investment, the strongest competitors within them, and the best management teams to invest alongside. As advisors, our approach is to provide companies with the advice and the capital necessary to exploit the business opportunities they have identified.

Why Choose Us?

At Align, we believe that investing in a company is about more than just numbers. Great management teams deserve to work in partnership with an experienced investor who understands their business, supports their strategic vision and shares their values.

Investors choose Align because our partners have proven track records of investment and management success. Companies choose Align because we understand their businesses and can contribute meaningfully to helping them achieve their goals. Managers choose Align because we understand the meaning of the word "partnership."

Our uncompromising commitment to providing both senior-level focus and thoughtful, practical advice differentiates us from other investors. Our partners have decades of successful experience as blue-chip company CEOs and senior executives, entrepreneurs, turnaround consultants, senior private equity professionals, and M&A advisors at leading financial institutions.

The companies we partner with rely on the judgment that comes from this experience. In particular, because we understand the needs of their businesses, we are able to help them craft solutions that are uniquely appropriate to the opportunities and challenges they face.

In addition, our portfolio companies and clients benefit from Align Capital's wide network of professional relationships. Through the efforts of our Executive Partners and affiliations with our Strategy Partners, Align brings world-class advice and execution capabilities that are normally unavailable to small and medium sized companies.
