Firm Overview
Exaltare Capital Management is a private equity firm that focuses on franchise and consumer businesses. We seek to invest not only capital, but also our expertise, energy and network in differentiated, niche leading businesses.
While we are not day-to-day operators of our portfolio companies, we are actively involved in strategic decision making and are willing to roll up our sleeves to help execute value-added initiatives.
areas of focus
Exaltare Capital Management was founded on the values of integrity, teamwork, and partnership. These qualities not only reflect how we conduct business, but also are the foundational pillars of the relationships we seek to establish. Our values are based on the principle of sharing a commitment to a common vision where the collective whole exceeds the sum of its parts. We bring this mindset to partnering with businesses in the following sectors:
