Corinthian Capital was founded in 2005 to invest in small and middle market companies located primarily in North America. Our principals, Steven J. Kumble, C. Kenneth Clay, James A. McNair, and Peter Van Raalte, have over 80 years of combined private equity investment experience. In our years together, we have exclusively focused on making equity investments in small and middle market niche and unique manufacturing, distribution, and service companies.

At Corinthian Capital, we focus on acquiring businesses with sales between $50 million and $250 million. We take the time to evaluate the unique intrinsic value of each company and to identify a firm's individual strengths. The companies in which we invest typically have defensible positions, competitive advantages, low technological risks, reasonable capital expenditure and working capital requirements, and a proven and experienced management team. We tailor each company's investment structure with careful regard to the firm's growth needs and market position.

We believe that the best opportunities for building equity value continue to occur in the North American small and mid-sized company market. There is continued growth of new firms in this segment due to dynamic business formation and the natural growth of successful enterprises. Investment opportunities in our target market are driven by generational turnover, an entrepreneur's desire for personal liquidity, and corporate restructuring. We specialize in working personally with entrepreneurs, selling shareholders, and management teams to transition a business to a private equity environment and to accelerate its growth.

Corinthian Capital's headquarters are located in New York, New York. Its Midwest regional office is located in Chicago, Illinois and its Boston area office is located in Hingham, Massachusetts.
