Thesis
5th Century Partners is a private investment firm founded in 2020/2021 and headquartered in Chicago, IL. They focus on partnering with management teams of growing middle-market companies, particularly in the healthcare, consumer, and business services sectors, using a "demographically-led" approach that leverages diversity. They target founder-owned, lower middle-market businesses, often providing the first institutional capital to companies with significant growth potential, typically generating $4 million to $15 million of EBITDA. Their strategy includes providing capital, operational expertise, and strategic relationships to scale infrastructure, strengthen finance, develop talent, and drive growth initiatives, supported by an in-house Portfolio Optimization Practice and an advisor network. The firm primarily invests in the United States. With two funds closed, 5CP Fund I ($144M) and Fund II ($276M), their total AUM exceeds $550 million. While specific check sizes are not detailed, they align with the lower middle market segment.
