UNCONVENTIONAL investors and problem solvers focused on people, cash flow, and long-term value

We focus on finding solutions in unusual circumstances.

This can mean special situations, carve-outs, bankruptcies, unusual complexities, accelerated succession, and capital cycle investing.

Unorthodox, unusual, or complex problems?

We can help you.

Our founder partners bring decades of hands-on restructuring, financial, and operational experience, combined with firsthand experience owning, operating, and growing businesses.

Our ultimate goal is to restore, rebuild, and create enduring value in companies through excellence and integrity.

OUR INVESTMENT APPROACH

  • Our mandate is clear. We bring a prudent, discreet, and intelligent approach to the disposition of funds, the probable income, and the probable safety of the capital to be invested.

  • We have no interest in being the smartest person in the room. We check our assumptions, invite challenge, and change our minds when the facts require it.

  • Businesses are built by people. The companies we acquire are not portfolios of assets. They are communities of employees, customers, and relationships that existed long before we arrived and will outlast our ownership. We take that seriously. We follow through on what we commit to. We believe that the way a business treats its people in difficult moments defines its character permanently.

Why Sanguine?

Sanguine was a deliberate choice.

The definition was far more beautiful than we initially thought.

Sanguine is to remain optimistic, especially in an apparently bad or difficult situation.

This captures the essence of what we do: to see the upside in situations that are generally viewed as bad or difficult.
