Conversion Ventures LLC, also known as Conversion Venture Capital (CVC2), stands out by focusing on control and growth investments in mid-market enterprises, banking on the potential added value from a longer investment horizon. Unlike customary private equity firms, they do not operate under a traditional fund structure, instead investing their own capital which endows them with a unique flexibility in regards to investment structuring and duration. They leverage their substantial expertise across various industries and economic conditions, striving to be proactive, value-adding board members. Committed to partnership, they rely on the inherent strength of portfolio companies’ existing management teams. Their investment approach embodies providing long-term, flexible capital solutions, evident in their sustained commitments to emerging funds that generate less than $1 billion, leadership in growth equity rounds for profitability-pursuing companies, co-investments with different sponsors in both debt and equity transactions, and initiating buy-outs of industry-leading businesses with a baseline of $2 million EBITDA. They cater to diverse segments of the economy, aiming to assist management teams in achieving growth objectives. Establishing a 'human-first' approach to investing, CVC2 prides itself on fostering genuine relationships and aligning their success with that of their partners.
