 DRAUPNIR pursues investment opportunities for its portfolio that can be categorized generally as either management buyouts or growth equity transactions.
Management buyouts typically involve the investment by DRAUPNIR of $1 million to $25 million of equity capital and include the following situations:
- Buyouts of private or publicly held companies, or divisions of larger companies; and
- Recapitalizations of family-owned or closely held companies, designed to achieve liquidity or raise equity without going public and allow the sellers to retain significant continuing ownership.
Growth equity transactions typically involve the commitment by DRAUPNIR of $1 million to $10 million of equity and include the following situations:
- Companies that are seeking capital to fund rapid internal growth;
- Acquisition-oriented financings involving companies that require capital to pursue one or more acquisitions or mergers; and
- Start-up and early-stage investments in areas in which the principals have substantial investment experience.
