Seacoast is a private investment fund focused on providing non-controlling junior capital to privately-held lower middle market companies across the United States. We are different from most junior capital funds in that we take a “sponsorless” approach to investing, meaning we prefer to work directly with individual company owners or management teams rather than outside investor groups that require operational or board control. As such, we typically involve ourselves in situations where a management team seeks capital to maximize the value of, rather than sell, their business.
