About

Carlson Private Capital Partners is a private investment formed by the Carlson family, a family deeply rooted in a legacy of entrepreneurship and operational excellence. We invest family capital in businesses best served by an investment partner focused on long term value creation and collaborate with exceptional management teams to build great businesses. The Carlson family and our investment professionals have a deeply seated understanding of what it is like to be owners and operators of businesses over generations and what it takes to build and grow enterprises built to last. As a result, we have access to a vast network of connections, resources and capital that allow us to tailor an approach and provide expertise unique to each situation. We look for businesses generating revenue of $25-500 million, EBITDA of $5-50 million+ and invest $20-100 million per deal. We have a preference for family or entrepreneur owned businesses, or management teams looking for a transition from private equity ownership. We invest in every industry, especially industrial, consumer, and services.
