Additional specialized Sponsor Coverage Professionals introduce M&A Buy-Side advice specific to Capstone’s suite of integrated services.
Fully equipped to provide M&A purchase retention search services, the Group has a special focus on additional acquisition searches for sponsor-backed platforms. As the M&A market becomes increasingly competitive at the platform level and increasingly fragmented industries continue to be targeted, Capstone expects that the private equity community will continue to pursue buy-and-build strategies to create value in existing portfolios.
Capstone leverages industry scale and depth by pairing each retained search engagement with an M&A banking expert focused on a specific sector to provide insight and guidance in today’s dealmaking environment. This integrated and relationship-oriented approach ensures a market-informed process from beginning to end.
The group includes professionals with strong experience in various specialties ranging from industry research, company valuation, modeling, and financial statement analysis, to performing search outreach and relationship management. The growth of the team is an important priority in the company’s 2025 strategy, reinforcing its commitment to expand its capabilities and serve its clients in all spheres of the business life cycle.
His capstone Sponsor Coverage Group collaborate closely with the firm’s Business Development Team, Corporate Financing Group (Equity Capital Advisors and Debt Capital Advisors), and senior M&A advisors to provide integrated functions that complement current service offerings for the private equity and corporate community.
Templin, who joined Capstone Partners from Run, commented, “Due to the challenging market conditions, we have seen a significant uptick in add-in activity over the last year and a half as the sponsor has focused internally, expanding the existing portfolio through small strategic tuck-in acquisitions. As the M&A market rebounds and more many deals coming to market, we expect private equity firms to continue to underwrite additional M&A activity into their strategy to offset high platform valuations.
