CCI, an Atlanta-based private equity investment firm, announces the launch of The Crown Capital Fund, an evergreen platform to accommodate growing investor demand arising from the firm’s proven track record revitalizing companies in the lower middle market.

“The Crown Capital Fund is a direct result of demand for the highly successful Crown Capital direct investment private equity platform”, says Chris Graham, Founder, CCI.

The firm raised over $100 million within weeks of the Fund launch on 1st November, with a $250 million total target raise over the coming months.

As part of its strategy, the firm has merged three of its direct investment platform portfolio companies into the Fund and acquired four new companies since 1st November: Climalock, Climashield, Nova Marketing, and the JRT Agency and its subsidiary CG Detroit.

“As our new platform, The Crown Capital Fund now provides scale to the Crown Capital model,” adds Graham, “It is an exciting evolution in our operations.”
