Frequently asked questions

Who runs investment decisions at Stratim Capital?

The firm lists four founders — Zachary Abrams, Craig Such, Tom Thompson, and Nicholas Van Loan — who have operated together in the secondary market since 2004. All have overlapping private equity backgrounds dating to 2000. The firm does not externally distinguish between deal sourcing, underwriting, and final investment authority; the group appears to make decisions collectively.

Does Stratim Capital run a traditional blind-pool fund?

No fund structure is publicly disclosed. The firm describes itself as a private equity firm focused on secondary transactions but does not mention a target fund size, vehicle name, or LP base. The prior vehicle — Lake Street Capital's flagship fund — completed 23 investments, but Stratim's current capital deployment appears to operate on a deal-by-deal or separate-account basis.

What transaction sizes does Stratim Capital target?

Stratim targets individual positions and portfolios ranging from $1 million to tens of millions of dollars in transaction size. This bracket falls below the threshold of large institutional secondary buyers, allowing the firm to source without competing in fully intermediated auctions.

Does the firm participate in fund commitments or only direct secondary deals?

Stratim Capital focuses almost entirely on secondary direct transactions — purchasing existing stakes in individual companies from shareholders. There is no indication that it makes primary commitments into venture or buyout funds, or acts as an LP. Its strategy remains oriented toward asset-level rather than fund-level liquidity.

What is Stratim Capital's known posture on confidentiality during deals?

The firm explicitly states that it conducts due diligence with minimal disruption to portfolio company management and that sellers do not read about their transactions in the press. This commitment to discretion is central to its value proposition for founders, early employees, and executives seeking partial liquidity.
