We work closely with companies that are looking for capital to accelerate growth organically or through acquisitions.

We support experienced management teams in de-novo companies entering established industries by means of market-consolidation opportunities and/or via internal growth.

We are also interested in later-stage leveraged buyouts, especially when investment returns can be enhanced beyond leverage reduction to include moderate growth in mature markets, or when we feel our local market know-how, experience and network can bring value beyond capital.

We prefer to invest in companies focused in growing industries with between $5 Million and $20 Million in yearly revenues, and operating cash flows ranging from $1 Million to $5 Million.

Our preferred investment amount ranges between $2.5 Million and $5 Million.

Advent-Morro also considers larger investments as co-investor with lead investors. We have extensive co-investment experience and established contacts with leading U.S. private equity and venture capital firms. In these cases, Advent Morro takes a minority position in the investments made in Puerto Rico firms, and as the local institutional partner, it participates in the due diligence processes and provides post-investment monitoring.

OurValue-Added Partnership

Advent-Morro puts as much of an effort into supporting its portfolio companies as it does in selecting them. The firm’s philosophy is, indeed, one of adding value to the companies in which it invests.

Therefore Advent-Morro’s goal is to provide not only the capital, but also the experience, network and resources necessary to achieve the growth that our portfolio firms’ management teams have set for themselves.

As any equity firm, we have a time horizon when making investments. Our intent is thus to be an equity partner for a period of three to seven years.

Our exit strategies will typically revolve around strategic buyers, once they have been identified. And since investment returns will be realized from the sale of our equity positions, a large part of the value added will be aimed at maximizing equity value and exit returns.
