About The Firm
Vulcan Capital is a leading private investment firm that creates
long-term value by applying extensive industry knowledge, operational
expertise and flexible financial resources to attractive investment
opportunities. The firm invests across all stages of corporate
development through leveraged buyouts, growth capital,
distressed/turnaround, and early-stage venture capital, as well as
public equity value investing. The firm's portfolio spans a range of
industry sectors, including media and communications, energy and
natural resources, business and financial services, technology, life
sciences and healthcare. Vulcan Capital was formed in 2003 and is
headquartered in Seattle, Washington. The firm serves as the investment
arm of Vulcan Inc., the organization founded by Paul G. Allen,
co-founder of Microsoft.
Unique Investment Approach
Vulcan Capital has generated extraordinary investment returns by taking
a highly analytical and proactive approach across all stages of the
investment process.
- Investment Sourcing: The firm identifies proprietary
opportunities by using its deep insight into industry sectors to
identify companies with the best prospects for significant
risk-adjusted returns.
- Deal Execution: The firm values substance over form and therefore
places no strict constraints on transaction structure, which allows the
investment team to design the best structure for each investment
opportunity.
- Value Maximization: The firm's professionals use their operational
and financial expertise to help management overcome strategic
challenges, improve performance and create sustainable value.
Unlike other investment firms, Vulcan Capital is not limited by
traditional deal structures, asset classes or holding periods, and as a
result, can invest in public and private companies through a wide range
of securities with investment horizons from 2 to 10 or more years. The
firm has no defined limits on transaction size but generally targets
direct equity investments of $50 to $300 million or more, as well as
select smaller venture investments. As part of a broader
diversification strategy for Vulcan Inc., Vulcan Capital also forms
general and limited partnerships with fund managers who invest outside
the firm's primary areas of expertise.
Exceptional Investment Team
Vulcan Capital has more than twenty investment professionals, including
former senior operators, strategic consultants, investment managers and
corporate finance specialists. The firm and its portfolio companies
benefit from Vulcan Capital's long-standing professional advisory
relationships and its network of operating and strategic partners.
Vulcan Capital is led by Lance Conn, President, and a team of six
Managing Directors.
