It partners with businesses in payments, financial technology, banking, and wealth and asset management.

Nicholas B. Paumgarten founded Corsair Capital in 1992, spinning it off from an initial investment fund within JP Morgan to become an independent firm.

This insight established a foundation of specialized industry expertise.

Corsair Capital's portfolio companies are its direct customers, benefiting from tailored investments and industry-specific knowledge. The firm builds long-term value by collaborating with management teams to enhance operations, navigate market shifts, and expand market presence. Its vision is to be a leading investment partner fostering transformative growth across the global financial and business services ecosystem.
