Merchant Banking Overview

Cat Trail Capital, LLC is a merchant bank that focuses on unique private equity transactions concentrating on small to middle-market companies within the media, technology and biotechnology sectors. The goal is to deploy partner capital to investments that will leverage Cat Trail’s management experience to enhance financial returns. Better known in parts of the world outside the U.S., a merchant bank typically partners with its portfolio companies to develop a life-cycle investment strategy at the onset of the relationship. The resulting capital, fiscal discipline, and operational guidance enables the portfolio company to experience growth and execute effectively, setting the stage for future opportunities. Unlike traditional investment banks, Cat Trail commits its own capital at the riskiest stage of investment. Follow-on capital infusions are explored once the greatest risks have been mitigated.
