Seneca Partners Information

Seneca Partners is an active, partnership-oriented private equity independent sponsor based in Detroit, MI that specializes in lower-middle market investment opportunities. Seneca’s focus is to invest in businesses where we can play an active, value-added board role, as well as in industries that we and our partners deeply understand. Seneca makes direct private equity investments as an independent sponsor. Seneca has successfully partnered with private equity funds, family offices, high net worth investors, SBICs and other investors on its transactions. Seneca places a major emphasis on identifying investment opportunities that are sourced proprietarily or through limited banker/broker processes. While pursuing direct private equity investments, Seneca has frequently partnered with other independent sponsors on transactions. Independent sponsors value Seneca's deep team of 7 private equity professionals and find that Seneca’s large, curated capital partner network provide significantly better odds as closing transactions. 6 of Seneca's 10 current portfolio companies have been sourced and closed alongside another independent sponsor. In addition to Seneca's direct private equity strategy, Seneca has raised special purpose vehicles to invest in funds managed by thirty party managers, including private equity and venture capital funds. Seneca invests alongside its network of high-net-worth and family office investors in these vehicles, providing access to alternative fund investments that would not normally be available to these investors.
