We are very proud to share that we have successfully closed our inaugural small-cap fund, Bregal Sagemount Basecamp Fund I, at a self-imposed hard cap of $500 million. Basecamp is a continuation of the investment strategy Sagemount has pursued since inception in 2012, providing flexible, solution-oriented capital to durable growth businesses with high recurring revenues, operating in end-markets with uncorrelated secular growth characteristics. The new Fund will target equity investments between $20 and $75 million in market-leading middle-market growth companies.   "Being afforded the opportunity to raise this Fund efficiently is humbling and reflective of the loyal investor base we have been fortunate to retain since inception. We want to extend our thanks to many of our existing investors who enabled us to raise the Fund discreetly in current market conditions. This Fund will allow us to continue to serve bootstrapped founders looking for flexible, value-added capital." - Gene Yoon   Read the full announcement: https://lnkd.in/dG3aGs_c Learn more about Sagemount: https://lnkd.in/dndMwM9Q
