How AI describes Ocean Avenue Capital Partners

Ocean Avenue Capital Partners is an independent private equity firm based in Santa Monica, California that focuses on investing in inefficient, under-served small-cap and complex opportunities. They partner with independent sponsors, providing equity investments typically in the $10–$25 million range (majority or minority stakes with LP co-investment available) across buyouts, platform builds, recapitalizations, growth, special situations, carve-outs, and turnarounds. Backed by more than 50 years of collective investing experience and a track record across 100+ direct investments, they target founder-owned companies in the US or Canada with EBITDA of $3–$15 million in fragmented, defensible markets, aiming to improve operations and create value.
