Founded in 2015, Lincoln Road is a private equity firm which invests in founder owned businesses

Lincoln Road identifies founder owned companies that operate in fragmented industries that it believes have unrealized growth potential and would benefit from an acquisition strategy and operational improvement.

Lincoln Road emphasizes collaboration and works closely with management and stakeholders. Together, we are able to help companies and founders unlock the next level of growth.

How we do business

At Lincoln Road our team has sat at the table as both buyers and sellers. As such, we have experienced the difference between a cooperative buyer and a difficult one. In our experience, the best outcomes typically involve the former. We believe the key to the success of any business are through its relationships. Therefore, the following qualities are paramount to how we do business:

We always do what we say

We do not focus on minor details and look to minimize distractions

We are always transparent in our views

We bring certainty to transactions, providing sellers with speed or pacing as needed

We approach all challenges pragmatically and seek to solve problems, not create them

We work in concert with management to implement value enhancing initiatives
