Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man’s character, give him power.

- Abraham Lincoln

• Calvert Street makes control investments in established niche manufacturing and business service companies. We buy and build companies in partnership with operating management by executing accelerated growth plans through organic means as well as strategic add-on acquisitions.  We do not invest in early stage companies, real estate, highly regulated businesses or companies with rapidly changing technology.
  
  
• We target platform company investments in companies with a minimum of $5 million of EBITDA.  We do not have any size minimums for add-on acquisitions.
  
  
• We seek to invest in companies in fragmented industries that can be scaled to significantly larger businesses through consolidation opportunities, enhanced product and service offerings or expanded geographic coverage.
  
  
• We invest in companies with defensible market positions and predictable/repetitive demand for their product or service.
