About us
Collegeville, Minnesota is a place that has encouraged generations of young people to make life changing decisions, striking out into the world in new and exciting directions. Interstate 94’s exit 156 is a visual representation of those pivotal moments. Inspired by this concept of exits on a highway, Exit 156 Capital symbolizes the intersection at which businesses turn to new stages of growth and success, much like our founding partners experienced in first turning on to the Saint John’s campus years ago.
We are a team of entrepreneurs and investors seeking non-controlling investments in companies scaling innovative business models in compelling markets. We hold true to a disciplined investment philosophy that is focused on the people behind the investment and pursue opportunities where our team can add value to strong and proven management teams.
Our Approach
Exit 156 recognizes the critical role of strong management teams in steering and expanding exceptional companies. Our focus is on identifying exclusive opportunities where our expertise, capabilities, and network of operating partners can enhance value. We are committed to partnering with management teams, leveraging our experience and resources to contribute to the success of these companies.
Our investment strategy is centered on sectors where we have deep experience from years of focused entrepreneurship and investing. We target small and middle-market companies with a history of strong returns on invested capital, consistent above-average growth, and enduring competitive advantages in healthcare services, devices, and technology.
Our funds are characterized by a concentrated portfolio of carefully selected investments that align with our long-established criteria, summarized as follows:
The Industry
We seek companies in sectors we understand, with compelling demographic trends, and located in our geographic focus areas.
The Business
We target businesses with defensible market positions, meeting a clear economic need, and with a growing and sustainable customer base.
The Management
We support management teams with whom we have a strong relationship, a proven track record in their industry, a shared work ethic and values, and a compensation structure that aligns their interests with ours.
