CID Capital’s Private Equity Group makes majority investments in lower-middle-market companies with a strong history of consistent performance.  Our focus is on companies that have the potential to grow significantly but have been constrained by lack of capital, operating systems, or management experience.  CID provides the resources and capital to overcome these critical constraints.

CID’s investment philosophy is based on a collaborative partnership with operating managers who have the industry experience and high level of motivation needed to build a dynamic entrepreneurial business.  Managers in CID portfolio companies are given an opportunity to share in the value creation process and to participate in the economic success of their efforts.
