Boca Raton, Florida, February 5, 2019 – Hidden Harbor Capital Partners (“Hidden Harbor”), an operationally focused private equity firm specializing in control investments in lower middle market companies, today announced the close of its debut buyout fund. The fund closed at over $265 million, above its target, with contributions from a balanced mix of endowments, foundations, pensions, family offices and funds of funds.

“We are humbled by all of the support from our limited partners, and look forward to building great companies rooted in our core values of integrity, team, high-performance, passion and a commitment to constant improvement,” said John Caple, Managing Partner.

Hidden Harbor was formed in 2016 by industry veterans John Caple, David Block and Christopher Paldino, and places a distinct emphasis on its leadership team’s significant hands-on investing and operating experience, and its strict focus on the power and importance of human relationships as the core of every business.
