Seacoast Capital
Seacoast Capital is a non-control growth capital investor that provides debt and equity capital directly alongside management teams. Unlike most private equity funds, it does not buy companies; it partners with management teams of privately-held businesses seeking capital to grow, recapitalize the balance sheet, or finance an acquisition. It provides highly-customized equity and debt solutions that are less dilutive and less invasive than traditional private equity sponsors.

Frequently asked questions
Who runs investment decisions at Seacoast Capital?
Managing Partners Tom Gorman and Eben Moulton lead the firm's investment committee. Both co-founded Seacoast in 1994 and remain actively involved in underwriting and structuring every deal. The firm operates with a lean professional team and draws on operating partners for sector-specific diligence, but all final investment decisions rest with the two managing partners.
Does Seacoast Capital take control positions, or is it strictly non-control?
Seacoast is structured primarily for non-control investments. It provides subordinated debt and minority equity, targeting founder-led businesses where management seeks growth capital without diluting operational control. The firm can participate in buyouts, but its core thesis is that flexible minority capital, combined with strategic operating support, generates superior risk-adjusted returns in the lower middle market.
What size companies does Seacoast Capital typically target?
The firm targets companies with $10 million to $100 million in revenue, deploying $10 million to $30 million per transaction. This bracket captures profitable, founder-owned businesses that are too large for friends-and-family capital but too small for institutional control funds. Seacoast's typical target has a demonstrated cash-flow history and operates in industrial technology, business services, or enterprise software.
