CrowdOut Capital

Republic Square operates as an alternative investment manager, delivering flexible debt and equity capital solutions to lower middle-market companies. The firm focuses on private credit, private equity, and opportunistic structured solutions, providing tailored capital, industry expertise, and investor network access to support growth, recapitalizations, and leveraged buyouts.

Co-founded in 2015 as CrowdOut Capital by Alexander Schoenbaum, CEO, and Brian Gilmore, President, the company originated from an insight into capital access challenges for middle-market businesses. Their initial model created a flexible online lending marketplace, democratizing funding beyond conventional sources for growing companies.

The firm partners with lower to mid-market companies across diverse sectors, assisting with capital for expansion and strategic goals. Republic Square's vision centers on structuring capital collaboratively, promoting client success while preserving and growing investor capital through a partnership-driven approach.
