Pine Street Capital Partners is a multi-fund management company formed in 2004. PSCP's latest fund, Pine Street Capital Partners II, LP, continues our strategy of investing subordinated debt and non-control equity in smaller established companies with experienced and committed management teams, providing capital for buyouts, recapitalizations, acquisitions and corporate growth. PSCP has a broad investment mandate, with a preference for niche manufacturers, business services, health care and later stage IT companies. We will invest $2-6 million per transaction either as sole investor or as part of a larger investor group.
