Founded in 2023, Copper Truss Capital Partners (CTCP) is a boutique,
sector-focused, lower middle market private investment firm based in
Wisconsin. We focus on investing in Midwestern privately-held
businesses seeking a conservative capital partner with a flexible
duration and hands-on philosophy to value creation. Our experience and
relationships with business-focused investors and operating partners
provide a strategic advantage in driving sustainable business growth
in our investments.
We promote a partnership-first
mentality and meticulously focus on empowering businesses to grow
strategically, while preserving the existing culture and investing in
the people and communities they serve.
Our core values are simple. We unlock growth and value creation by bringing a diverse, institutional approach to family businesses and private investors as well as staying true to our core values. Discipline creates freedom and candor builds trust. We think partnerships are critical to our business model and we work effortlessly to align all parties in our investment opportunities.
Our reputation is grounded in having strong moral principles and we believe communication is critical. We don’t expect trust, we earn it by executing and delivering on our commitments.
Our approach is purposeful, and sector focused on investment themes we have built conviction on through research and facts. We enhance this approach by leveraging best practices learned through decades of experience at diverse world class institutions.
We combine a high level of curiosity, a healthy degree of skepticism, and a desire for drilling into the detail as key tools to unlock value, identify risks, and accelerate strategies for growth.
Real partnerships are critical, and in our experience value enhancing. We invest meaningful amounts alongside our investors and operators and take a full-ownership approach. We think like managers, operators, and investors.
Each investment is bespoke, and our structure enables us to seek creative solutions to drive higher levels of alignment, accelerate returns, mitigate risk, and minimize fees and taxes for investors. We take pride in providing a comprehensive solution to our investors.
We understand the business founders we partner with, either as operators or investors and we deliver solutions that reflect their purpose and passion. Our team is consistently focused on positively impacting the communities we and our partners serve.
