L Squared Capital Partners

L Squared Capital Partners is a private equity firm specializing in long-term investments in leading growth companies operating in Education Technology, Tech-Enabled Services & Software, and Industrial Technology & Services sectors. With over 125 years of collective experience, the firm has raised four funds since its founding in 2014, securing commitments exceeding $2 billion from its investors. Their unique investor base of primarily family offices enables a focus on long-term value creation driven by revenue and earnings growth, rather than financial engineering.

Equity investments typically range from $50 million to $125 million, with a preference for majority ownership. L Squared seeks companies with a growth profile of at least 15% per year, primarily within North America.

L Squared's portfolio encompasses a diverse range of companies, including Kano Labs, a leading provider of premium branded consumable chemical solutions; TeachTown, offering K-12 special education software; CogneSense, specializing in sensing and IoT solutions; and Netrio, a managed IT and security services provider. The firm also formed BTX Precision in 2024 to consolidate North American precision components. Their approach emphasizes empowering management teams to execute their vision while providing expertise to navigate market shifts, technology evolution, and competitive pressures.
