We are long-term investors who specialize in growing leading Tech-Enabled Services, Industrial Technology and Education Technology companies.
L Squared focuses on growing market leaders in three sectors: Tech-Enabled Services, Industrial Technology, and Education Technology. The principals of L Squared have worked together for over 20 years as active and successful investors in growth companies. We have over $5 billion of cumulative capital commitments.
We actively seek companies that we believe are well-positioned for transformational long-term growth. Our unique investor base of family offices enables us to focus on long-term value creation and allows management teams to make decisions without the trade-offs associated with shorter-term investment horizons.
L Squared has a long history of successfully empowering management teams. While we do believe that we are capable of adding significant value, including through high-level strategic planning, sourcing, and executing accretive acquisitions, we also believe that management teams know their business better than we ever will. Our investment decisions are grounded in backing leadership teams that we believe in.
