Our target investments are companies and new ventures operating in niche markets. Preference is given to strategic alliances with strong international brands and/or franchises and to projects with a clear niche focus or a high level of value addition. In general we participate as a lead investor in acquisitions or private equity placements. The investments typically include the following:
Traditional Management Buyouts
Subsidiaries and divisions sold or spun out by corporate parents in an effort to change strategic focus or strengthen corporations.
Sale of Private Companies
Cases in which owners of private companies seek to sell their business entirely or partially to a private investor. Sometimes these transactions include “management buy-ins”, whereby existing, non-shareholder managers are given the opportunity to participate in the equity ownership of their company and benefit from the value created under a new ownership group.
Growth Companies
Capital infusion to enhance the ability of growth companies to gain market share more quickly, develop new products, or improve competitive position.
Industry Consolidation
Strategic opportunities driven by changes in regulation, cost structure, or global competition that require new business combinations.
Special Situations
Investment opportunities in which our shareholders, professionals, portfolio company managers, or our affiliates and/or strategic partners have specific industry background, personal contacts, and unique analytical capabilities.
Joint Ventures
Investments with corporate or strategic partners, whereby the combined skills and resources of MMBL-Pathfinder and the partner lead to a superior investment opportunity for all parties.
Global Brands/Franchises
Representing or working with globally recognized brands and franchises.
