Investing in and transforming software businesses essential to the backbone of the economy
Approach
Who we are
Oakline invests in vertical software businesses essential to the backbone of the economy. We build exceptional platforms in partnership with management teams and accelerate profitable growth through AI transformation and operational excellence. Oakline merges the long-term orientation of permanent capital with the partnership approach of private equity. Oakline is backed by AVALT, a private equity firm with a permanent capital base.
What we focus on
We partner with enduring enterprise software businesses that are mission-critical to their customers. Our investment theme focuses on regulated industries related to verticals that form the backbone of the economy, including industrial, manufacturing, and infrastructure. We look for scaled businesses that have proven product-market fit and outstanding organizational cultures. We invest in majority recaps, full buyouts, and corporate carve-outs.
How we work
We are selective about finding the right partner. When we have conviction about fit, we move through the investment process in a sophisticated manner. Our team then works on a pull rather than push basis, creating value via applied frontier technology, best-in-class talent, and operational best practices that are crafted to the specifics of your business. We have an entrepreneurial ethos and a unique structure that aligns incentives with our partners.
