K2 Capital Closes Inaugural Fund

k2 nf1K2 Capital Partners has held a final closing of its first fund. Investors in the new fund include investment institutions, family offices, and high net worth individuals.

K2 Capital Partners invests in lower middle market companies with sales between $10 million and $40 million and EBITDAs between $2 million and $6 million.  Industries of interest include business services, healthcare services, online training, aerospace & defense, and technology-enabled services.  According to the firm’s general partners – Kambiz Aghili and Gregoire Demory – K2’s strategy is to focus on smaller businesses which fall below the investment parameters of most investment firms, and offer an exit path for business owners.

Kambiz Aghili nf1“We are grateful for the tremendous level of commitment and support from our limited partners,” said Mr. Aghili.  “Our successful fundraise is a true testament to the strength of our team, disciplined sourcing strategy, extensive growth advisory track record, and experience executing transactions in the lower middle market.”

In addition to its financial capabilities, K2 Capital Partners has an operating component as well.  The firm’s general partners are complemented by a team of 21 limited partners who have executed hundreds of successful investments and have operated dozens of privately-held companies.

Gregoire Demory nf1“Our firm is different from traditional private equity funds in that we seek to actively manage our acquired companies, with a long-term focus,” said Mr. Demory. “We provide full-time, operational leadership to continue the business and create long-term value for shareholders, employees, customers, and the local community.”

K2 Capital Partners is headquartered in Los Angeles (www.k2-capital.com). The firm engaged Goodwin Procter to serve as legal counsel in the formation of the fund.
