Court Square Capital Partners

Court Square Capital Partners (formerly Citicorp Venture Capital Equity Partners) is a private equity firm focused on control and significant minority investments in middle-market companies in the United States, with additional activity in the United Kingdom. The firm concentrates on four core sectors — business services, healthcare, industrials, and technology and telecommunications — committing equity investments of $25 million to $150 million per transaction in companies with enterprise values typically between $100 million and $1 billion. Transaction types include leveraged and management buyouts, divestitures, growth capital financings, recapitalizations, and secondary buyouts, with the firm building collaborative partnerships with founders, families, and management teams across an investment approach the firm describes as flexible and adaptable to each company's unique circumstances. Court Square applies a hands-on operational model supported by a network of Resource Partners who work with executive teams on an as-needed basis to identify and execute value creation and performance improvement initiatives, leveraging learnings across its broader portfolio. The firm closed its fifth flagship fund, Court Square Capital Partners V, at approximately $3.8 billion in 2026, and has completed more than 150 to 166 investments since its founding, deploying over $4.5 billion in capital. The firm traces its roots to Citicorp Venture Capital, founded in 1968, with its management completing an independent spin-out from Citigroup in 2006. Founded in 1968 (spun out as an independent firm in 2006), the firm is headquartered in New York, New York, United States, with an additional office in London, United Kingdom.
