Odeon Capital Partners

About The Fund

Odeon Capital Partners is a principal investment firm with a focus on growth capital for business expansion, transition, and financial restructuring. Founded in 1999 and based in New York, they specialize in investments in companies at growth and expansion stages. They look for companies that are seeking growth capital for the first time such as those with strong core products but high debt loads, orphaned subsidiaries of larger corporations, initial franchises lacking resources to maximize growth, quality businesses spun out of larger corporations that lacked attention or resources, or companies with solid operating results whose initial backers cannot continue support. The firm also shows interest in financially sound business units from troubled parents, and publicly traded companies with valuations significantly less than their intrinsic values. Odeon Capital Partners has a preference for rapidly growing companies in sectors like enterprise software, outsourced business services, healthcare services, and select manufacturing businesses and distribution sectors. Their investment portfolio focuses on infrastructure software including network and system management software, storage management software, security software and services, supply chain management software, and business application software. They are also interested in business process outsourcing. The firm seeks to invest between $12 million to $25 million per company with annual revenues ranging from $25 million to $100 million. They typically prefer either controlling stakes or significant minority stakes in their investment companies and often seek board seats. Their strategy is characterized by active involvement with the management of the companies they invest in, aiming to achieve long-term value creation.
