The questions owners and founders ask us first.

A private holdings firm uses its own capital to acquire and own stakes in operating businesses for the long term, rather than trading in and out of them. Lindenmere acts as a permanent-minded owner: we buy into well-run companies, support them as an active steward, and hold them for years or decades. We also provide venture and growth capital to scaling businesses and strategic advisory to owners and boards.

Private equity typically raises funds with fixed lifecycles and a mandate to sell within a set period. Lindenmere is a private holdings company: we invest our own capital with no required exit date, so we can hold great businesses for as long as they keep compounding. We behave like an owner because we are one, and our interests stay aligned with the businesses and people we back.

We look for established, profitable, well-managed businesses with durable economics, capable leadership, and room to compound over time. We focus on technology and software, healthcare and life sciences, industrial and manufacturing, property and real estate, business and professional services, and consumer and retail.

For principal investment we work with established, revenue-generating businesses. For venture and growth capital we back growth-stage companies that are ready to scale. We are flexible on size and structure — the fit of the business and the people matters far more to us than hitting a particular number.

Both. We acquire controlling stakes in companies seeking a long-term owner, and we take significant minority positions alongside founders who want to retain control. The structure follows the situation and the people, not a template.

Indefinite by design. Because we invest our own capital without a mandated fund lifecycle, we can hold a business for as long as it remains a great business. We measure success in years and decades, not quarters.

Yes. Our strategic advisory practice is independent of our investing. We advise owners, founders and boards on mergers and acquisitions, capital structure, exit and succession planning, and board-level questions — bringing conflict-free judgement rather than a sales agenda.

We act as a discreet, long-horizon partner for founders and families managing concentrated wealth. We co-invest directly, advise on succession and generational transfer, help manage concentrated positions, and serve as a trusted sounding board on decisions that shape a family's capital for decades. Discretion and privacy are central to how we work.

We conduct our activities to high professional and legal standards and structure each engagement appropriately. Many of our most important engagements are never public: we protect confidences, move quietly, and never trade on a partner's name. Privacy is a feature of how we work, not an afterthought.
