PRESS RELEASE

MILWAUKEE, Jan. 31, 2018 – Sequoya Borgman announced the launch of Borgman Capital, a new private equity firm that focuses primarily on acquiring interests in established closely held lower-middle market companies in the Midwest.

Borgman Capital has been fully operational since October 2017 and closed on its first investment on January 2, 2018. The firm will be headquartered in Milwaukee, with an office in the 250 East Wisconsin Building.
The firm is an agnostic investor and will consider a broad spectrum of opportunities that align with its investing principles where it can add value through sound financial oversight. The firm is opportunistic in nature and will explore and research deals that more traditional private equity firms and strategic investors may lack the structure to make profitable.

Borgman Capital takes the investment principles that larger private equity groups have successfully applied to the large and middle-market enterprises and apply them to lower-middle market companies. Unlike most private equity firms, the intent is not to divest of the company once the balance sheet is stabilized. The firm focuses on long term capital appreciation and positive cash flow.
