Do you know of any publicly traded companies pursuing a micro-PE strategy?

I'm primarily a public market investor, but have become increasingly interested in the search fund model and micro-PE.  Just wondering if anybody knows of any public companies that are trying (or have tried) to apply this model in a public company structure in one form or another.

A few that come to mind - MACC Private Equites (now a liquidating trust), Equus Total Return, Clarke Inc., Great Elm, Rand Capital, Newport Partners (now another name), Aurelius AG.
