Overview
Staple Street Capital, a Delaware limited partnership, was founded in 2014 and is principally owned by its
founders, Stephen D. Owens and Hootan Yaghoobzadeh (the “Principals”). The Firm provides investment
advisory services to Street Capital II, L.P., Staple Street Capital II-A, L.P. (the “Blocker Fund”), Staple
Street Capital III, L.P. and Staple Street Capital III-A, L.P. (collectively together the “Funds”). The Funds
are pooled investment vehicles which are exempt from registration under the Investment Company Act of
1940. The Adviser may provide investment advisory serves to additional clients in the future.
The Firm focuses on making control-oriented investments in lower middle market companies that have
operational, balance sheet and/or other process complexities. The Principals have a strong personal and
professional relationship that began over 15 years ago when the Principals started working together in The
Carlyle Group’s US Buyout team and continued after Mr. Yaghoobzadeh left Carlyle
to join Cerberus
Capital in 2004. Bound by a shared investment philosophy and core values, the Principals formed SSC to
leverage their experience garnered at these firms to target what they believe to be as an underserved and
inefficient segment of the private equity market where investors like SSC with relevant market and complex
transaction experience have the opportunity to strive to generate attractive investment returns.
SSC serves as an investment manager to the Funds. The Funds have a special purpose general partner,
managing member or similar entity that is controlled directly or indirectly by SSC (the “General Partner”).
As of December 31, 2023, SSC managed on a discretionary basis $942,063,947 of regulatory assets under
management on behalf of the Funds. Each Fund is managed only in accordance with its own investment
objectives and is not tailored to any particular private fund investor (the “Limited Partners” or “Investors”).
SSC does not participate in any wrap fee programs.
