What to know about our private equity.
- What does EXA Capital's private equity strategy focus on?
- EXA Capital's private equity arm takes majority control of distressed and carved-out companies — typically businesses with roughly $10M to $100M in turnover — and restructures them to unlock value. It is industry agnostic.
- What is a corporate carve-out?
- A carve-out is the acquisition of a division or subsidiary separated from its parent company. EXA Capital acquires such businesses — often distressed or non-core — and rebuilds them into standalone companies through operational and financial restructuring.
- How does EXA Capital create value in a turnaround?
- EXA Capital pairs capital with hands-on operational expertise, restructuring operations, finances and strategy. Founded and managed by entrepreneurs, it invests with a long-term perspective rather than pursuing quick exits.
- What size companies does EXA Capital acquire?
- Private equity investments typically target companies with approximately $10M to $100M in turnover, acquired at attractive valuations for majority control.
