Founded in 2011 and based in New York, New York, Thayer Street provides flexible capital solutions tailored to their partners' needs.

They focus on middle-market companies approaching $10-$100M in revenue and make concentrated investments in a selected number of high-quality opportunities each year.

Thayer Street targets major themes within large and growing markets with a long-term, risk-adjusted investment approach that emphasizes capital preservation within each individual investment.

They are interested in businesses with formulaic recurring revenue or financial assets that leverage data, the internet, or technology to scale. Their investment focus includes sectors like business services, financial services, insurance & specialty finance, and real estate services.

Thayer Street's added value comes from their capacity to offer both passive investment and hands-on partnership, drawing on the expertise of a team comprised of former professionals from leading private equity, credit, and banking firms, as well as a network of advisors including former CEOs, board members of financial institutions, and technology entrepreneurs.

Thayer Street collaborates with entrepreneurs and management teams to accelerate growth through organic developments and strategic acquisitions, offering deep industry knowledge, specialized M&A and financing expertise, and proprietary relationship networks.

They provide strategic, tactical, and operational support to portfolio companies, facilitating business development, strategic partnerships, and providing industry-specific expertise.
