Investment Criterion


MacroGain Partners is sector-focused as opposed to transaction-focused. We have built a network of strategic sector partners who can assist in working with earlier stage firms and seek investor-partners who are interested in venture capital, private equity, and debt transactions in these target sectors as compelling investment opportunities arise.

Transaction Types
Venture Capital ($0.5 to 4.0mm) Private Equity ($2 to 25mm)
Emerging Technology Orphan Products or Divisions
Advantaged Startups Family Transitions
Stragegic Partnerships Growth Recapitalizations
Minority Investments Shareholder Realignment
Growth Investments Management Team Buyouts

Company Characteristics
Financial Sustainable Competitive Advantage
Revenue Up to $50 million Superior and/or Disruptive Technology
Positive EBITDA Preferred Unique Customer and Channel Relationships
Low Cost Position

Target Investment Criterion
Geography Transaction Size
Consider Entire U.S. $0.5 to 25 million
Prefer Midwest Companies Structured to Meet Unique Needs
Ownership Involvement
Majority or Minority Equity Positions Board Level Participation
Convertible Debt Strategic and Operational Support


We feel stronly that being sector-focused but stage-flexible will allow us to uncover the best opportunities in our target sectors without regard to transaction size (see Stage Flexibility Rationale).
