Every investor remembers when an industry relationship or insight gave them an edge and the conviction to close a great investment.

We custom develop those relationships and key insights for every investment opportunity, helping private equity managers capture more deals, make more opportunities actionable and close great investments. We operate as a strategic advisor and direct investment partner to a select group of managers.

Our approach spans the investment
lifecycle, and includes:

  • Improving investment decision-making and positioning our partner managers as the preferred buyers for attractive investment prospects
  • Synthesizing independent perspectives and recommendations on deals from highly targeted industry executives
  • Developing relationships and insights that create proprietary advantages on each investment opportunity
  • Aligning backable executives with deep on-point expertise who can serve as deal-specific operating partners
  • Performing deep-dive diligence, leveraging industry relationships to surface unanticipated insights and opportunities
  • Supporting investment theme development, including making themes more actionable by aligning successful industry operators and characterizing the target landscape
  • We operate as an extension of our partner managers' deal teams to create an advantage on all their high priority investment initiatives.

“We've closed several great investments that wouldn't have been possible without Kingfish's involvement. The relationships they brought further enhanced each opportunity.”

Tom Barber, Co-founder & Managing Director, SBJ Capital
