Juniper Investment Company LLC

Juniper Investment Company, LLC is a New York-based investment management firm that applies a private equity ownership philosophy to a concentrated, long-only portfolio of publicly traded small-cap and lower middle-market companies in the United States. The firm targets profitable, under-followed businesses with market capitalizations below $1 billion across a broad range of sectors without stated industry preferences, seeking companies with compelling long-term appreciation potential, sound management teams, and defensible competitive positions that trade at discounts to intrinsic value due to limited institutional coverage and research attention. Investment types include public equity long positions, active shareholder engagements, strategic equity co-investments, and selective private control investments, with the firm leveraging special-purpose vehicles to access larger, longer-duration, and less liquid positions alongside its core public market strategy. Juniper manages capital on behalf of its general partners, high-net-worth individuals, family offices, and institutional investors, applying an engaged ownership approach informed by the co-founders' combined decades of prior private equity experience. The firm was established by Alexis Michas and John Bartholdson following significant tenure together at Stonington Partners and Merrill Lynch Capital Partners, applying the active ownership and control investing disciplines developed in private equity directly to the small-cap public equity market. Founded in 2007, the firm is headquartered in New York, New York, United States
