Emmersion Capital
Emmersion Capital owns and operates lower middle market companies in the U.S. and Latin America that benefit from a geographical arbitrage with technical talent and production that is nearshored from the region.
By using its network of institutions, U.S.-LATAM family offices, and UHNW investors, Emmersion is able to scale through these LPs in the Americas and add value through operations.
U.S. Lower Middle Market
Emmersion Capital believes there is a significant opportunity to generate attractive returns in the lower end of the middle market. This is a segment that consists mainly of family-owned companies with enterprise values ranging between $5 and $75 million.
By focusing on the lower middle market, Emmersion Capital can capture a broad universe of investment opportunities in a market segment generally underserved by larger institutional private equity firms, through direct investments and a $250M+ capital pool.
Many of the prospective investments in this segment are proprietary with high value creation potential. Emmersion Capital can secure a competitive advantage thanks to its expansive multinational infrastructure, significant technical operating talent pool in the U.S. and LATAM, and speed of execution.
Investment Themes
Sector Themes: not limited to Financial Services, Logistics & Supply Chain, BPO & Technical Outsourcing, Health and Wellness, MedTech, Consumer Products, IT Software and Services, Special Situations, Construction & Engineering, and B2B Solutions.
Operating Value Add: companies with a solid competitive position in their home market and a proven business model that can be scaled with proven operators in the United States and benefit from Emmersion's significant technical talent and managers in Latin America.
Owner-Operated & Sponsors: these companies tend to have less sophisticated financing and management compensation strategies, presenting significant opportunities to improve operations and financial performance. Emmersion Capital will help to institutionalize the business operations to position for the next stage in their business life cycle.
