With a rich history spanning over three decades, Argentum has successfully invested in 90 companies and has provided support for 200 add-on acquisitions. The firm occupies a unique position in the investment landscape, filling the increasing gap between early-stage venture capital and later-stage growth equity. Argentum specifically targets bootstrapped companies seeking equity capital in the range of $3 million to $15 million, primarily aiming for minority ownership stakes.
Argentum's investment expertise covers a diverse array of sectors, including but not limited to software, technology-enabled services, software as a service (SaaS), cloud-based platforms, enterprise software, financial technology, regulatory technology and compliance, human capital management, B2B e-commerce and logistics, as well as various applications within both vertical and horizontal markets. Their focus also extends to healthcare and pharmaceutical services, clinical research organizations, healthcare IT, healthcare data analytics and intelligence, business services, specialty staffing and workforce solutions, transportation logistics, regulatory compliance services, transaction processing, and specialty distribution.
The firm has well-defined investment criteria, seeking companies with revenues between $3 million and $25 million, and focuses on growth equity recapitalizations. Investment sizes typically range from $5 million to $15 million for minority ownership stakes, although Argentum is also capable of accommodating majority stakes or buyouts when appropriate.
In terms of geographic focus, Argentum primarily invests in U.S.-based companies that exhibit an attractive growth profile and strategy, possess strong, committed leadership, and maintain a recurring revenue stream. Their ideal investments feature a proven and scalable business model that operates within a highly fragmented industry, establishing meaningful barriers to entry and competitive advantages.
