PE/VC investors

Private Equity (PE) and Venture Capital (VC) investors are the catalysts of innovation and growth in the business world. PE firms primarily target established companies, seeking to optimize operations and unlock value through strategic investments and management expertise. They focus on long-term growth and profitability, often preparing businesses for a future sale or IPO. VC investors, by contrast, are the adventurers of finance, injecting capital into high-potential startups and early-stage companies. They embrace risk for the possibility of outsized returns, often becoming invaluable advisors. Both investor types not only bring capital but also strategic guidance, industry connections, and market insights, propelling their portfolio companies towards success.

CVF Capital Partners (“CVF”) was established in 2005 to provide capital to small and medium-sized businesses. Since its inception, CVF has targeted California and in particular its underserved Central Valley.

CVF typically provides the layer of a company’s capital structure between senior debt and common equity, often referred to as mezzanine capital, in the form of subordinated debt and preferred stock investments. While CVF can invest as a majority owner or as part of a control equity group, it typically holds minority equity stakes. <br /> <br /> CVF focuses on growing firms across the Western United States with at least $1 million in cash flow. Our target investment is between $3 million and $15 million, although we have strong partner relationships with other private equity firms and sponsors that can allow us to complete significantly larger investments.
