Our Approach

Differentiated Strategy
Differentiated Returns

We seek to exploit the capital supply-level imbalance in the lower middle market and other inefficient markets to deliver differentiated, all-weather returns for credit investors.

LAGO LOGO WHITE Version

At our core, we are a growth-focused private credit firm providing investors early access to the dynamic businesses shaping tomorrow’s economy. It’s how we do it that distinguishes us.

We partner with emerging companies we perceive to be tomorrow’s high performers. These companies, often still run by their founders, operate in underserved or inefficient industries or market segments underserved by credit providers and where risk is fundamentally misplaced based on our projections for these companies’ prospects.

Instead of diluting founder equity, our team structures credit to provide the capital to fuel sustained innovation without encumbering future capital needs or diluting equity. This enables our investors to access equity-like returns at lower risk than typical private capital deals.


Employing a thematic approach and conscientious focus on innovation, we deliver value to investors with each deal.

We believe our approach offers a lower-risk alternative to achieving outperformance.

Our comparative advantage is derived from how we do what we do:
Robust originator capabilities

Attractive capital solutions

Digging deeper to find overlooked value

Risk-minimizing structures
