Highlights At A Glance

  • Founded in early 2000, Incyte Capital, LLC is focused on a specific niche: growth and mid-stage restarts and recapitalizations. The firm invests in solid, existing middle-market companies whose growth has stalled, and provides the capital and managerial counsel and support they need to jump-start their growth and achieve their potential.

  • We are not a venture capital firm that rolls the dice on speculative ventures or startups: We invest only in substantial companies with strong management, an attractive core business and good valuation. We look for firms that already have real products, actual assets, paying customers and a revenue stream – but that need help to break through to the next level.

  • The market for such investments continues to be strong today. Unlike many private equity investors, Incyte funded actively during the more difficult 2000-2002 period following the dot-com meltdown.

  • We are led by Marc Gineris, an expert in valuation and previously managing director of Deutsche Banc Alex. Brown’s West Coast Recapitalization Advisory Group. Formerly with Bear Stearns, Gineris is a Harvard MBA with two decades of experience providing mergers & acquisitions advice and financing, supplying restructuring guidance and executing recapitalization transactions.

  • Our target companies have revenues of between $20 million and $250 million with specific, identifiable challenges we can help them meet. Such challenges include an inappropriate capital structure, bad acquisitions or a superior product that lacks a sales strategy. Although we are open to possibilities in all sectors, we are especially focused on telecommunications, developed technology and software, healthcare, selected energy, basic industries and selected consumer products.

  • We screen potential investments rigorously, invest in only two to four companies annually and take a very active role after investing. Our typical transaction size is in the $15 million to $60 million range, a level that should result in control. We maximize our post-investment role and activities to ensure progress within a one- to three-year horizon.

  • Our funding comes principally from our own capital and from a core group of individuals and institutions who committed capital to our investments at our formation in early 2000. Since 2005, Incyte Capital, LLC remains closed to new equity investors. Incyte Capital Funding, LLC remains open to new fixed income secured debt capital.
