About Us
Overview
|
Joshua Partners was founded in 2007 by Charles Corpening, formerly a Senior Partner with Citigroup Venture Capital (CVC), one of the world's oldest and most admired private equity pioneers, which manages global funds of over $10 billion, and its successor firm Court Square Capital Partners. He has over two decades of private equity and corporate restructuring experience. Joshua
Partners is a unique private equity
firm focused on the lower middle market. We are
dedicated to finding and partnering with those rare
companies that still believe in traditional values
like passion, vision, and unwavering commitment to
excellence toward all their stakeholders. We are focused on building a highly select number of middle-market companies into enterprises with global scale and performance capabilities.
We believe that value creation is greatest and most
satisfying with a long-term focus, with management
viewed clearly as the single greatest asset to
maximize. Because we are not a traditional fund we
are immune from the familiar pressures for
short-term, fee-driven transactions made attractive
largely by financial engineering.
Joshua Partners brings decades of world-class
financial and management expertise to bear on a
highly select number of lower middle market companies
led by entrepreneurial management teams with the
vision and ambition to build a substantial, lasting
franchise in an increasingly global economy. By partnering with and enhancing management capabilities and resources, together we seek to achieve ambitious growth objectives. |
