The firm concentrates on identifying and investing in growth-oriented mid-market companies, where it actively applies its expertise in strategic initiatives and operational improvements to enhance portfolio company value and drive business expansion.

The firm was founded in 2000 by Jay Bloom, Andrew Heyer, and Dean Kehler, building upon their significant experience in investment banking.
