Christopher Hoehn-Saric and Michael Cohen, the co-founders and managing partners, lead all investment decisions. Both previously served as managing directors at Sterling Partners, where they co-led education and technology investments. No external investment committee is publicly disclosed; the firm's size and fund structure suggest decisions are made internally by the partner group.

The firm targets lower-middle-market companies with between $3 million and $15 million in EBITDA across North America. Equity checks typically range from $15 million to $50 million per transaction. This places Hull Street in the space between independent sponsors and large institutional buyout firms.
