Firm Overview
Altamont Capital Partners is a private equity firm with over $4.5 billion of capital under management, focused primarily on making long term, control investments in middle market businesses. We are often drawn to companies undergoing a transition, either operational or strategic, which we believe we can help navigate. Our approach relies on partnering with strong management, supporting the business with our considerable resources, and bringing a constructive and pragmatic mindset to drive significant long-term value.
Why do prospects want to do business with the firm?
Shared success, collaboration and openness are core tenets of Altamont’s culture and the firm’s philosophical approach to business, guiding all interactions. Altamont believes that strong relationships with management are fundamental to its success. The firm’s investments are based on the premise that by partnering with capable and motivated executives, and supporting them with Altamont’s arsenal of resources, it can significantly increase the value of their businesses. To align interests, Altamont seeks to provide management significant financial incentives tied directly to the success of the investment. Similarly, the Altamont team also has skin in the game with each portfolio company by virtue of their significant personal investment in the fund. Altamont also emphasizes flexibility. The firm understands that no two businesses or transactions are alike, and dedicated team members design solutions to fit the unique needs of each situation. In some cases, this requires non-traditional approaches to meet the objectives of all of the constituents involved – including sellers, ongoing owners, co-investors and management teams. Altamont welcomes those transactions and believes that the team possesses the experience, skill, creativity, and care to successfully complete them. The Altamont team is filled with people eager to support partner companies as needed. The firm provides access to world class resources in-house and in its network available to help its companies succeed.
Why do intermediaries present opportunities and want to conduct transactions with the firm?
Altamont principals have a long track record of investing in and building companies across a broad range of industries. The firm recognizes the time, resources and perseverance required to be successful. Altamont draws on that experience to tailor workable solutions based on the unique needs of each situation. Designing solutions to fit the unique needs of each situation sometimes requires non-traditional approaches to meet the often divergent objectives of all the constituents involved – including sellers, ongoing owners, co-investors and management teams. Altamont welcomes these transactions and believes it possesses the experience, skill, creativity, and care to successfully complete them. In addition, Altamont’s investor based comprises a small group of large, sophisitaced and patient limited partners who share the firm’s view that the returns generated from investing in companies with strong business models are attractive enough to justify a different approach.
