Broadline Capital

BROADLINE CAPITAL is a global alternative investment firm that backs category leaders and category creators in large industries that are undergoing transformational change. At Broadline Capital, we are inspired by champions — people of vision and courage — whose ideas can positively change the world, and who are ready to transform their ideas into the next big, industry-changing company. Broadline's heritage of disciplined investing reveals our alpha-generating capability to develop and deploy the skills to stretch and create alpha at every link of the value chain — from our Proprietary Approach to Ecosystem-driven Deal Origination, to our Expertise at Navigating Strategic Exits and IPOs. Our investment process starts with our proprietary approach to Ecosystem-driven Deal Origination: • First, we take a top-down view across the innovation ecosystem to identify technology mega-trends that are transforming large sectors that are ripe with growth, high-margins, and fragmented landscapes — creating abundant deal opportunities. We focus primarily on six thematic areas where our transaction leaders have pragmatic operating experience, deep domain expertise, and a vast network of relationships built over many years. We collaborate with the market leaders and corporate acquirers in these target areas to cultivate them as future exit partner candidates and promising sources of future spin-out opportunities. • Next, we take a bottom-up view to identify rising stars — category leaders and category creators that have the potential to reshape their industry. We prefer later-stage opportunities nearing an exit event such as a strategic sale or IPO, where our experienced team can support the management team to define and navigate a clear exit plan aimed at creating extraordinary value for all key stakeholders.
