Senior‑banker attention, deep relationships with strategic and PE buyers, and a disciplined process focused on price, terms, structure, and cultural fit. Recognized with multiple industry awards. 

Strategic buyers often seek 100% ownership at closing. Financial buyers commonly acquire a majority and ask management to retain equity and continue leading.  

We review financials, growth drivers, comps, and buyer dynamics to provide a market‑based value view ahead of a potential transaction, then validate through a competitive process.

Sell a majority now (first bite) and retain a minority stake to sell later at a potentially higher value (second bite).  

We generally execute M&A transactions from ~$20 million to $500 million+ enterprise value and private capital raises from ~$10 million to $100 million+. 

No. We focus on growth equity and debt for established companies, not early‑stage venture capital. 

Private capital raises generally range from ~$10 million to $100 million+. 

Hyde Park Capital’s Sponsor Capital Solutions practice provides advisory and financing services for private equity sponsors, independent sponsors, institutional limited partners, and family offices seeking to address capital and liquidity needs. Hyde Park Capital advises clients on general partner-led (GP-led) secondaries, CVs, acquisition financing, and other debt and equity capital markets transactions.

A GP-led secondary is a transaction initiated by a private equity sponsor to access the secondary market in an effort to advance one or more strategic objectives. Examples of GP-led solutions include raising and structuring CVs, tender offers, strip sales and NAV-oriented liquidity solutions.

A CV is a new investment entity formed to acquire one or more portfolio companies from an existing private equity fund. A CV can provide limited partners the option to either receive liquidity for its pro rata interest in a portfolio company or remain invested in the portfolio company as the sponsor continues to manage the asset(s) in a separate vehicle to support the assets’ growth and preserve potential future upside.

Hyde Park Capital assists independent sponsors in raising capital for acquisitions and other strategic needs. Our capabilities include equity syndication as well as the placement of debt preferred equity, recapitalization capital and structured growth capital.

A NAV loan (Net Asset Value Loan) is a form of fund level financing where a private equity fund borrows against the value of its underlying portfolio. It enables sponsors to raise non-dilutive capital to advance certain strategic objectives.

A fairness opinion is an independent professional assessment of whether a transaction’s consideration is fair from a financial point of view. Boards and special committees obtain them for M&A, buybacks, go‑privates, and similar deals. 

Yes. We provide fairness opinions and valuations to both public and private companies and advise fiduciaries on options and alternatives. We can also run go‑shop processes when appropriate. 

Infrastructure finance primarily focused on data centers, fiber infrastructure, generation equipment, power plants, waste-to-fuels and renewable energy sectors. Renewable technologies include solar, wind, biomass and geothermal.

The process starts by understanding the client, its business and specific capital requirement. Structured-finance solutions are tailored to meet and achieve specific requirements on a case by case basis. The purpose of advisory is to structure and position the transaction in a manner that attracts the most attractive financing terms available while fully meeting the client’s requirements. We target specific classes of institutional investors most appropriate for the project. The process involves structuring and advisory, modeling support, transaction summary decks, data room management, comprehensive investor outreach, term sheet review and closing support. We facilitate negotiations with qualified investors to achieve pricing and terms that maximize value to the client.

In addition to project advisory and arranging capital, Hyde Park is part of a consortium led by Inference Energy (www.inferencenergy.com) which provides power generation equipment (reciprocating engines, turbines, aero-derivatives, frame units, etc.) to data center developers and hyper-scalers.  Hyde Park provides bundled financing with terms ranging from short-term leases (36 to 60 months) to long-term financing (10 to 20 years).  Inference currently has over 3GWs of generation equipment in inventory and available for sale.

We arrange all elements of the capital stack, e.g., senior/junior debt, mezzanine, project equity and tax equity.  Construction period and permanent financing.  Structures include leases, securitizations, asset backed and equipment financing, and project finance.   Deal sizes start from $25M w no maximum.  Tenors range from 36 months to 20 years.

Growth equity, mezzanine/junior capital, and senior debt, including financing for acquisitions and recapitalizations.
