Drawing on its sector knowledge and the Carlyle network, Carlyle’s investment team creates proprietary deal flow and adds value to portfolio companies. Carlyle’s growth capital group, with a focus-on-the-fundamentals approach, has a global network stretching from Washington, DC to Los Angeles to London to Mumbai to Tokyo to Seoul to Hong Kong, has the know-how and the global footprint to find and nurture the companies of tomorrow.

“We are able to make introductions on behalf of our portfolio companies to potential customers and business partners in the information technology sector” says Brooke Coburn, Managing Director and managing partner of Carlyle's U.S. Growth Capital. Carlyle’s growth team makes growth capital investments in businesses, principally those providing technology infrastructure and services to the enterprise market.

Carlyle’s buyout team seeks opportunities in larger, generally more mature segments of the technology and business services markets. “We look for well positioned, well managed businesses where Carlyle’s industry knowledge and capital can help build or strengthen market leading companies” says Pete Clare, Carlyle Managing Director. Carlyle’s approach to buyouts emphasizes partnering with management teams to buy businesses and then doing everything possible to help those companies grow and prosper.
