Fund
Clearlake Capital is a global private investment firm with integrated platforms spanning private equity, liquid and private credit, and related strategies. Founded in 2006, the firm provides flexible capital to established businesses at important points of growth, transition or complexity. Its private equity activity is concentrated in technology, industrials and consumer sectors, where sector knowledge and operational expertise can support measurable business improvement.
The firm invests in private and public transactions and can provide debt or equity capital through buyouts, corporate carve-outs, turnarounds, recapitalisations and reorganisations. This all-weather mandate allows Clearlake to pursue opportunities created by market dislocations, underperforming industries and companies in transition. It generally partners with experienced management teams and provides patient, long-term capital rather than relying on a single transaction structure or stage of the economic cycle.
A central part of Clearlake’s model is its proprietary O.P.S. framework, which brings together Operations, People and Strategy. Working with portfolio company leadership, the firm may develop 100-day plans, strengthen reporting and governance, review product and sales priorities, improve working-capital management and support leadership development. As part of the AlphaHAS Capital portfolio, Clearlake represents exposure to scaled private-market investing, flexible credit solutions and an operationally focused approach to long-term value creation.
