Spring Rock Capital

The firm is led by its founding partners, who are responsible for investment decisions. John Cannon is listed as the primary contact on the firm's website, though specific titles and the names of all founding partners have not been publicly disclosed. The website describes a partnership structure built on varied investment mandates and operating experience.

Spring Rock invests across the capital structure, from first-lien debt to control equity. The firm targets transactions between $25 million and $250 million in size, with equity commitments ranging from $5 million to $50 million per deal. It looks for companies with EBITDA between $3 million and $20 million, and invests in both healthy, growing businesses and distressed or complex situations.

The firm's disclosed investment activity focuses on direct private equity deals, including control equity and structured capital across the balance sheet. Spring Rock does not publicly describe any fund-of-funds or LP commitment strategy. The launch of Spring Rock Venture Partners indicates a direct early-stage venture capital program rather than a fund-commitment model.

Spring Rock Venture Partners was established as a distinct arm of Spring Rock Capital to target early-stage venture capital investments. It focuses on industries that are related to Spring Rock Capital's core private equity portfolio. The firm has not publicly named specific venture portfolio companies or disclosed the size of the venture program.

Spring Rock Capital does not publicly disclose the source of its capital. The firm is an asset manager rather than a single-family office, and its website does not name the underlying limited partners, wealth origin, or a family group backing the firm. The structure and identity of its investor base remain private.

Spring Rock Capital describes itself as a generalist investor focused on industries that its founding partners know well. The firm has not published a list of specific sector focuses or any explicit exclusion list. Its early-stage venture vehicle, Spring Rock Venture Partners, targets industries related to the core portfolio, but no sector tags or named focuses have been publicly confirmed.

No philanthropic foundations, real-asset arms, or separate operating companies tied to Spring Rock Capital have been identified through the firm's public disclosures. Beyond the launch of Spring Rock Venture Partners, the firm's known structure is limited to its private equity investment operations headquartered in Chicago.
