Over the past several months, I was deep in diligence on a transaction that ultimately fell apart in the late stages. While disappointing, it only reinforced my conviction that there are excellent opportunities in the lower middle market, and I’m eager to pick back up and redeploy that energy into the next opportunity.
I launched Lynbrook Capital (lynbrook-capital.com) after spending years as an investor and advisor and seeing firsthand how many strong lower middle market businesses are overlooked or under-resourced. My focus is on profitable ($300k+ earnings), mission-critical services businesses in the Northeast. Businesses in/adjacent to the water utilities space are especially interesting.
If you’re a broker, investor, or fellow searcher and think it makes sense to connect, I’d welcome the conversation - the shared experience makes this path a lot more fun. Actively rebuilding the pipeline and looking forward to the next one!
