Independent sponsors like Derson Capital are private equity professionals who invest their own capital alongside outside investors in acquisition and growth opportunities. We are seasoned executives and entrepreneurs with significant industry expertise and a track record of success in identifying and executing value-add investments.
We differ from traditional private equity firms because we do not have a permanent fund or institutional investors. Instead, we raise capital on a deal-by-deal basis from a network of investors, including high-net-worth individuals, family offices, and other institutional investors. This allows us to be nimbler and more flexible in our investment approach.
One of the benefits of working with us is the ability to access our expertise and industry connections. We have strong relationships with strategic buyers and other industry players, which can be valuable in identifying and executing investment opportunities.
We also bring operational experience to the table, as we have a background in running and growing businesses. This allows us to provide value-add support to our portfolio companies through operational improvements and strategic guidance.
While we may not have the resources and infrastructure of larger private equity firms, we can offer a more personalized and flexible approach to investing. This can be attractive to both investors and companies looking for a more tailored and hands-on approach to private equity.
We offer a unique alternative to traditional private equity firms, combining industry expertise, operational experience, and a flexible investment approach.
