Investment Strategy
Falcon commits capital to companies that have an established operating history and market presence and a motivated management team. With a limited number of investments and a flexible structure, we are able to devote the time and resources necessary to meet the specific needs of each company.
Falcon adds value through an investment of capital for shareholder liquidity and/or growth, and by ensuring that the business is properly capitalized to fund working capital and longer term needs. Additionally, Falcon is an active, engaged partner who helps set strategic direction, offers feedback and guidance to senior management, and brings a wide range of relationships to bear.
An investment by Falcon serves as a springboard for a company to achieve its strategic, operational, and growth plans more quickly.
