Altmore Capital Investment Management
Patrick Kim, a former partner at Williams & Connolly, and Steve Ham, an ex-Carlyle Group private equity executive, launched Altmore Capital in 2018. The firm says it focuses on uncovering whitespace opportunities that fall outside the typical scope of larger institutional investors. Altmore invests across US agriculture, real estate, sports, and manufacturing — sectors it describes as underfunded. Its deal structures include senior-secured debt, equity, bridge and receivables financing. The firm has deployed over $450 million since inception, citing investments in agriculture, real estate, sports, and manufacturing (per firm website, 2025). It targets opportunities that generate returns uncorrelated to broader markets. The firm is headquartered in Arlington, Virginia, with a nine-person team that includes former partners from Kirkland & Ellis, McKinsey, and Golub Capital. Altmore is minority-owned and operated, as certified by the USPAACC. Altmore avoids a sector-focused fund structure in favor of a flexible, opportunistic mandate. The firm says it draws on co-founders' legal and private equity experience to negotiate tailored deal terms, positioning it as a counterparty for situations requiring speed or structural complexity.

Frequently asked questions
Who runs investment decisions at Altmore Capital?
Patrick Kim and Steve Ham co-founded the firm in 2018 and serve as managing partners. Kim came from law firm Williams & Connolly and McKinsey; Ham spent over 20 years at Carlyle Group, RedZone Capital, and other private equity firms. Both are involved in deal sourcing and structuring.
How does Altmore source proprietary deal flow?
Altmore targets whitespace opportunities in underfunded industries — sectors where larger institutional investors are less active. The firm says its flexible deal structures (senior-secured debt, equity, bridge, receivables financing) allow it to serve companies needing tailored, rapid capital solutions.
Is Altmore structured as a single family office or does it operate more like a venture firm?
Altmore is structured as an asset manager, not a single or multi-family office. It makes opportunistic private investments with its own capital and likely with co-investors, though the firm does not disclose its precise capital base.
What investment stages does Altmore typically target?
Altmore does not specify a preferred stage; its mandate covers senior-secured debt, equity, bridge financing, and receivables financing. The firm has deployed capital across agriculture, real estate, sports, and manufacturing — suggesting it is stage-agnostic.
Which sectors does Altmore explicitly avoid?
Altmore does not publicly list excluded sectors. Its stated focus is on underfunded industries, implying it avoids crowded, competitive sectors where its flexible deal terms offer less advantage.
How does Altmore's team experience shape its investment approach?
The team includes former partners from Williams & Connolly and Kirkland & Ellis, ex-McKinsey consultants, and veterans of Carlyle Group and Golub Capital. This mix of legal, private equity, and investment management expertise allows the firm to structure complex, tailored transactions.
Does Altmore maintain philanthropic structures?
Altmore does not disclose any separate philanthropic foundation or charitable arm on its website.
