Odeon Capital II

Odeon management is currently in process of raising fund II. Odeon Capital Partners II, L.P., is a private equity limited partnership formed with the purpose of offering vale-added growth capital to established private companies and select under-followed and under-valued public companies.

Our mission is to seek investments in established, attractively valued companies poised for rapid revenue expansion through broadening product or service offerings, expanding sales and distribution, or acquiring strategic targets.

Our investment focus is on companies that possess valuable underlying business franchises, especially histories of paying customers, broad-based acceptance of their products and services, seasoned management teams, established operating franchises and recognizable brands.

While the companies we seek will have achieved inital levels of success, they will be operating under constarints that hamper their growth. These constraints may include, for example, lack of adequate capital for expansion and growth, limitations on managerial or operating resources, excessive financial leverage or poor capital sturctures, or neglect from parent companies that no longer deem the enterprise important.

The fund's goal is to identify these constraints, mitigate them, and fund the opportunity to unlock its latent value. Thus, the essence of the fund's stratgey is to take an already "good" company, limited by financial or operational constraints, and make it a "great" company.

The fund will concentrate on growth companies in three sectors: enterprise software, outsourced business services, and rapidly growing manufacturing and distribution companies with a proprietary or technological edge. The fund also has an interest in companies operating in the energy, healthcare, financial services, and media and communications verticals.

Odeon's Management Team consists of Matthew Smith, Jeffrey Finkle, Marc Aronstein and Qayyum Hafeez. Management follows a team approach and brings unique perspective from diverse backgrounds in corporate marketing and sales, corporate development, product management, IT industry research and market analysis, start-ups, private equity and portfolio management. Respective former affiliations include Wheatley Partners, Computer Associates International, Cheyenne Software, Digital Equipment Corp., Giga Information Group, Merrill Lynch and Priceline.com.
