Draft:Shore Capital Partners

  • Comment: Thanks for the reviews and comments on this draft. I've updated the draft with some new details based on two new news pieces about Shore from July. These came out after User:Imcdc had edited and resubmitted the draft earlier this summer. The Crains piece in particular, I believe meets the criteria as non-routine coverage. It discusses the firm in some detail, including information about its business model, investments, and history. Given the two declines, I wanted to get editors' input about this before resubmitting. User:Ca and User:Imcdc does this sourcing help? JMShore (talk) 21:15, 24 August 2023 (UTC))
Following up here, I wanted to check in with User:Ca and User:Imcdc: do either of you have a minute to look and see if the edits I made and new sourcing helps? JMShore (talk) 18:40, 2 October 2023 (UTC)
  • Comment: relatively small, and non-notable . The article given for comparison is about a company with 512 billlion assets under management, 2 orders of magnitude more than this company. DGG ( talk ) 08:30, 26 January 2023 (UTC)
  • Comment: Submitting this draft for review on behalf of Shore Capital Partners; I am on the firm's marketing team and have a financial conflict of interest, so understand that Wikipedia editors with no connection must review to ensure it meets the Notability guideline and is not promotional. I'm aware that Shore has not properly disclosed on Wikipedia in past attempts to create an article for the firm and apologize for this. Our team has been learning Wikipedia's rules and I intend to be transparent and follow the COI guidelines. For this draft, I used independent sourcing including the Wall Street Journal, Crain's Chicago Business and The Deal. To help guide what sections and content are appropriate, I looked to articles for other private equity firms such as Apollo Global Management. Thank you to any editors who take the time to review.

Shore Capital Partners is a private equity firm headquartered in Chicago, Illinois. The firm generally invests in microcap companies. In 2022, Pitchbook ranked the firm as the third most active private equity firm globally with 193 deals.[2]

History

edit

Shore Capital Partners was founded in 2009 by Justin Ishbia, Mike Cooper, Ryan Kelley, and John Hennegan.[3][4][5]

The firm raised $112.5 million for its first institutional private equity fund in 2014.[4][6]

In October 2019, it opened an office in Nashville.[7]

Investments

edit

Shore Capital Partners initially focused on investing in small healthcare companies with EBITDA figures between $1 million and $10 million but later on expanded into investing in small companies from other industries such as food and beverage.[5] In 2021, Shore Capital expanded into the business services and real estate industries.[5][8][9] In 2023, the firm raised a fund to invest in industrial businesses, such as environmental services, transportation, and aerospace and defense, that have revenue between $5 million and $100 million.[1][10]

The firm takes a buy-and-build approach to investing where it performs numerous add-on deals to bolster and expand the businesses it buys. This is done by investing in an initial company then acquiring others within the same sector, and combining them.[5][9] The firm's acquisitive business model leads to a higher volume of deal-making than the average private equity firm.[1]

In 2021, the firm had approximately 30 portfolio companies.[11] By 2023, Shore Capital had acquired a total of 56 platform companies and approximately 800 add-on acquisitions.[1]
