Strategy
Seaport focuses exclusively on investing in the lower middle market within the communications services, business and information services, and media sectors. We believe maintaining this consistent and focused strategy best serves the companies in which we invest.
Seaport Capital invests in middle market companies with recurring revenue business models in the communications, business and information services, and media sectors. We provide equity capital for acquisitions, growth, and recapitalizations for businesses operating in the lower end of the middle market, which we define as businesses generating EBITDA between $3 million and $15 million. We invest in companies where there is an opportunity to grow cash flow, through acquisition and organic means, to create businesses that are leaders in their region or industry segment. We are long-term investors focused on compounding returns over years to generate a high cash multiple return on our investment.
