Fox Lane Partners
Patient capital for family and founder-owned businesses
We provide investment capital and operational resources to lower middle-market businesses.
We commit to:
Preserve your legacy.
Selling a business is complicated. We partner with owners who have built enduring businesses over many years. We strive to be the trusted partner of choice to maintain founder legacies while driving sustainable growth.
Focus on the long-term.
We are not a private equity firm. Our long-term investment philosophy allows us to focus on pursuing strategic initiatives to create value for years to come. We are excited about the journey, not the exit.
Add value beyond capital.
Investment capital is a commodity. Our value-add comes from the experience of our collective team and network of operators. We are passionate about finding solutions to the complicated problems.
Listen carefully.
The greatest insights about a business are held by employees, customers, suppliers, and partners. Great leaders give these stakeholders a voice. We are all ears and eager to listen.

Our Favorite Quote
“Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure, than to take rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy much nor suffer much, because they live in the gray twilight that knows neither victory nor defeat.”
