Fun(d) Friday returns and this week we turn the spotlight onto Anacacia Capital. Anacacia Capital was founded by Jeremy Samuel in 2007 after seeing a gap in the lower to mid market for buyout and growth capital partnerships. The firm invests in SMEs through a buyout and growth strategy providing liquidity to SME owners whilst also providing growth capital to explore expansion opportunities. Between 2007 and now Anacacia Capital has raised 4 funds, deploying a little of $800m across 70+ investments. Anacacia Capital have targeted the lower-mid market SMEs where founders want some liquidity. This means that they are often the first cheque into an asset and seek to drive shareholder return through growth and acquisition strategies. In many respects Anacacia Capital are the typical SME investor who solve the founder succession challenge, growth capital challenge and first cheque challenge.
