Cohesive Capital Partners

What is Cohesive Capital Partners?

Cohesive Capital Partners is a private equity firm headquartered at 650 Fifth Avenue, 16th Floor, New York, New York, 10019, United States. They specialize in direct investments in the equity or equity-linked securities of North American middle market companies.

Instead of raising funds through the traditional blind-pool format, they have pioneered a strategy for private equity investing that enables investors to make commitments to specific transactions. Cohesive focuses on partnering with leading private equity sponsors to support their pursuit of growth, acquisition, and various other strategies.

Their investment thesis hinges on not leading buyouts but rather on being a reliable minority investor in deals led by their sponsor partners. Cohesive is particularly adept at working with sponsors that require additional equity capital to consummate a deal without upsetting existing control dynamics.

The industries in which they invest are diverse, including media, artificial intelligence and big data, among others. With a demonstrated expertise in equity investment, their investments typically range from $16,500,000, which represent both their minimum and maximum investment limits. Their specialties cover a range of investment activities, such as expansion, management buyouts/leveraged buyouts (MBO/LBO), recapitalization, distressed debt, and secondary purchase.

Managing assets under their stewardship amounting to $584,000,000, Cohesive stands out for its strategic investment approach, underscored by their responsive, transparent, and informed interaction with sponsors, ensuring a reputation as a trusted partner that can fit seamlessly within the deal process.
