Maxwell Street Capital Partners

Co-Founders Evan Harwood and Paul Loeb lead the firm as Managing Partner and Partner, respectively. They are supported by Managing Director Tyler Goldstein and a small investments team. The firm does not maintain a formal investment committee separate from the partnership, based on its disclosed structure.

The firm points to its focused industry network across transportation and logistics as a primary sourcing advantage. By concentrating exclusively on route-based and supply-chain businesses, it aims to access deals through sector relationships rather than broad auction processes. It has not publicly detailed a formal intermediary relationship network.

Maxwell Street operates as a private equity firm, not a family office. It raises external capital to invest in portfolio companies, rather than managing the wealth of a single family. Its Evanston, Illinois headquarters and small team size are consistent with a specialist lower-middle-market buyout manager.

Publicly available information shows Maxwell Street pursuing direct control investments in operating companies. It has not disclosed any fund-of-funds activity, LP commitments to other managers, or co-investment programs alongside other GPs.

The firm focuses on buyouts of founder-led companies. It does not advertise a minimum or maximum check size, but its current portfolio of two middle-market logistics companies suggests it targets control equity investments in established businesses rather than venture-stage or growth-equity minority positions.

Maxwell Street invests exclusively in three verticals: transportation, logistics, and route-based services. Within those, it has demonstrated interest in temperature-controlled warehousing, supply chain distribution, and aftermarket parts management. It does not invest in software, financial services, consumer brands, or any sector outside industrial supply chain operations.

The firm has not publicly disclosed a co-investment program. Its control-buyout model and compact team suggest it typically leads transactions independently, though it may partner with limited partners or other capital sources on individual deals without advertising such structures.
