Lime Rock Partners

摘要

In 1998, Jonathan Farber and John Reynolds were equity research analysts at Goldman Sachs covering small, growth-oriented companies, when they saw an opportunity. "Through the use of technology, these small companies were able to deliver growth for their shareholders," Farber says. "We felt like we could carry that theme into the private-equity context." With that, Lime Rock Partners was formed, with an initial strategy that remains the same today: invest in global E&P and oil services, with a focus on backing quality management teams. The firm's Fund I was fully capitalized in 1998 at S100 million. It is currently investing Fund VI, which capped out at $825 million. Total funds raised are nearly $5 billion.
