Who we are
We take control positions in services companies with $5–15 million of EBITDA — businesses with visible revenue, durable demand, and a clear next stage of growth. From there, we focus on execution — expanding sales organizations, deepening management talent, completing add-on acquisitions, and building the infrastructure required to scale.
Where we invest
Five verticals in the services economy
Revenue Cycle
Services that help healthcare, insurance carriers, and other providers get paid accurately and faster.
Tech-Enabled BPO
Outsourced business processes made stickier and more efficient through technology.
Loyalty & Incentives
Platforms that help companies keep customers, reward behavior, and move money.
Managed Services
The outsourced technology backbone customers depend on daily: managed IT, cloud, and mission-critical business systems.
Human Capital Services
Businesses that help companies secure and support their workforce.
Portfolio
Focused on five verticals we know deeply
We concentrate on niche services verticals with secular growth tailwinds and fragmented markets — these are segments where we've built companies before and have a clear right to win.
Team
True partners for the next stage of growth
Our team pairs investment experience with operating depth. The Longshore team is experienced, focused, and committed to the companies we partner with.
