Description

Clear Springs Capital, (“CSC”) is a family office with deep roots in the US military, veteran and West Point (and other Academies) communities. We are focused on buyouts, partnerships and recapitalizations of smaller, lower middle market companies. We target businesses in the defense, education, industrial services, niche manufacturers, waste, OTR logistics, refrigeration (ice machines), business services, and specialty chemical manufacturers space with revenues of at least $1 million and positive, historical cash flow. Utilizing the highly talented leaders of the military, CSC will buy and build smaller, niche businesses that fall outside the investment parameters of many professional investors due to varying factors including their smaller size, an Owner/Operator transition, or a need for "hands-on" management. CSC seeks to partner with strong, experienced business owners who are looking to transition out of their business and into retirement at a timely pace. Transitions will be carefully planned to put said business in the best position to achieve long-term success. As former business owners and military leaders ourselves, have a long-term investment perspective.
