A collective of independent sponsors and operators.
We are independent sponsors and operators who trust each other and choose to work together. Each of us runs our own company. When you work with one of us, you get the experience of all of us: on the call, in the business, and on the deal.
What it is
We trust each other, and we help each other. We share deal flow, investor relationships, and operating expertise. We help each other close deals and run them.
Each member runs his own independent sponsor company, with its own deals and its own books. The Long Bench is what we stand under when we work together. It is not a separate business, and it does not hold anyone’s capital.
How we work together
01
A member joins another's investor or diligence conversations to add operating depth in his area of expertise. One more person in the room who has done the work.
02
After close, a member takes on a defined project inside another member's portfolio company. A clear scope, a clear owner, and real hands on the problem.
03
Two members co-sponsor a transaction together. Shared work, shared judgment, and one clear point of contact for the seller and the capital.
