Corridor Capital

Craig Enenstein, the founder and Managing Partner, leads the firm and sits on the boards of all active portfolio companies. The investment team includes Partner Cici Zheng, who heads operations, and a group of investment professionals managing deal execution from the Los Angeles office.

Corridor runs a dedicated business development team led by Partner Shaun Wright, who sourced six platform and eight add-on investments during five years at Platinum Equity prior to joining the firm. The firm also works with independent sponsors, offering a structure where the sponsor can own 35–70% of the equity while Corridor supplies the balance sheet, debt arrangement, and operational muscle.

The firm pursues control buyouts of business services companies with $2–8 million in EBITDA, a diverse customer base, and identifiable operational improvement opportunities. It targets entrepreneurs and families who have not yet built institutional infrastructure, with a particular emphasis on women-led businesses—44% of portfolio companies since 2014 fit that description.

Corridor operates as a direct investor. Its deal toolbox includes control equity, structured preferred capital with earn-out mechanisms, and a high-leverage independent sponsor program that can push debt to roughly 95% of a low-multiple acquisition. The firm does not market a fund-of-funds program.

Corridor's stated focus is business services, specifically business process outsourcing, marketing services, value-added distribution, and training/education. The firm will review adjacent opportunities, but its realized and current portfolios show no exposure to pure-play manufacturing, life sciences, or deep-tech hardware outside of a few early exits from a legacy aerospace holding.

Corridor collaborates with independent sponsors by providing debt and equity for a single deal, sharing advisory fees and offering broken-deal cost protection. It does not actively market pooled co-investment vehicles alongside third-party GPs, functioning instead as a principal partner in one-off sponsor-led transactions.

Corridor employs operations partners who join portfolio company management teams directly. Cici Zheng joined from ParkerGale Capital in 2024 to lead this function, which places operators inside portfolio firms to build financial planning, sales processes, and acquisition integration capabilities. The firm also draws on a resource pool of over 100 senior executives available to portfolio companies.
