What Sparrow Team Looks For

Sparrow Team invests with and alongside established external fund managers across private and public market strategies. Sparrow Team will consider:

• Established managers with a proven track record and a repeatable strategy
• Opportunistic and spinout funds built around a defined thesis or a differentiated approach
• Fundless sponsors seeking capital for a specific transaction or investment thesis
• Limited partner equity co-investment alongside existing fund relationships

Alongside its fund program, Sparrow Team makes direct investments in operating companies and works with external counsel on each transaction. Current areas of interest include:

• Privately held operating businesses with experienced management and a sustainable business model
• Companies facing a change in ownership or strategy where patient family capital can support long-term growth

As a single family office based in Warsaw, Sparrow Team can shape a transaction around the needs of each situation. Its approach to structuring a deal includes:

• Flexible to invest at any level of the capital structure, from senior positions through common equity
• Capital can support generational ownership transitions, buyouts of minority or inactive shareholders, growth financing, balance sheet stabilization, working capital needs and funding for add-on acquisitions
• Comfortable holding either majority or minority positions
• Open to companies at any stage of corporate maturity, from early stage to well established
