Investment Criteria

Transaction Type
Red Diamond Capital prefers change-of-control transactions in partnership with management. RDC also will consider minority investments under certain circumstances.

Company Size
$25 million minimum annual revenues and $5 million minimum annual EBITDA for platform companies.

Investment Size
$10 million to $35 million of equity per platform company.

CEOwners® Program

Red Diamond Capital seeks to partner with exceptional business leaders. In many instances, these leaders will already be managing a portfolio company. In others, RDC will work with an independent, proven CEO or assembled team on a dedicated search to acquire a platform business for them to manage. RDC's CEOwners® Program expands the universe of investment candidates to include under-performing businesses to companies where no successor or selling founder/owner exists, and neglected "orphan" divisions of larger entities. At any given time, RDC is actively engaged with a network of CEOs to source and assess investment opportunities.

Mitsubishi Resources

Through its affiliation with Mitsubishi Corporation, Japan's leading trading company, Red Diamond Capital can offer its portfolio companies significant benefits. Mitsubishi can help Red Diamond's portfolio companies reduce costs by gaining access to the most competitive global sourcing resources available, increase sales by penetrating new international markets, and access leading-edge technologies by leveraging industry knowledge and contacts in Mitsubishi's worldwide network.
