CAROUSEL CAPITAL is a private investment firm that invests in Southeastern
based companies. With over $300 million of capital under management, Carousel
is one of the largest private equity firms in the Southeastern U.S. Our
investors include an elite group of over 65 current and former CEOs with
expertise in a diverse group of industries. Recently, we have expanded our
investor base with capital from institutional investors including banks,
insurance companies, and pension funds.
Throughout its history, Carousel
has focused on acquiring and growing exceptional companies in the Southeastern
U.S. Due to our unparalleled investor network and relationships in the
Southeast, we are uniquely positioned to be a value-added investor for companies
operating in this region of the country.
Carousel's investment criteria are
focused. We prefer to acquire or provide growth capital to established
Southeastern businesses with proven management teams and more than $5 million
of operating cash flow. We are not a venture capital firm and do not typically
consider investments in early stage or pre-revenue companies.
Our investment experience includes a broad range of industries including manufacturing,
distribution, business services, telecommunications, health care, and financial
services. Each of our portfolio companies has experienced the benefits of our business relationships
and contacts, our management expertise, and our unique focus.
