Thesis
Metropolitan Partners Group (Metropolitan) is a New York-based private investment firm founded in 2008, specializing in providing senior-secured transitional capital to small and mid-sized, non-sponsored businesses in the U.S. experiencing rapid growth or transformation. Metropolitan's investment thesis centers on providing debt capital to fundamentally sound companies with recurring revenue, tangible assets, and a clear path to cash flow stability, often underserved by traditional credit providers. They emphasize a "non-sponsored advantage," working directly with founder-led businesses. The firm's geographic scope is predominantly the United States, targeting the lower-middle market. Metropolitan acts as a lead investor, primarily offering senior-secured, short-term (one-to-three-year) loans, with capacity for second lien loans in special situations. They prioritize sectors with valuable physical or contractual assets, including business services, financial services, healthcare, industrial, technology & telecom, transportation, and specialty finance, while avoiding sectors like oil & gas, cannabis, weapons, biotech, pharmaceuticals, and cryptocurrency. As of December 31, 2024, the firm reported $1.57 billion in regulatory assets under management. Their typical investment size ranges from $10 million to $50 million, with the capacity to scale to $100 million or more, and a sweet spot check size of approximately $12.5 million.
