Omaha Beach provides clients with access to diversified opportunities in small and middle-market private equity through secondaries, co-investments, and primaries. With decades of experience, Omaha Beach is singularly committed to delivering superior risk-adjusted returns.
With a long history of investing across the private markets, our team brings deep expertise in identifying and executing a differentiated approach to private equity. We invest our own capital alongside clients and have a track record of owning best-in-class private businesses.
Omaha Beach focuses on lower and middle-market private equity transactions where our capabilities and experience allow us to identify superior opportunities. These transactions often involve complexity or dislocation, enabling us to invest at a discount to intrinsic value with a strong margin of safety.
We foster a culture grounded in respect, humility, hard work, creativity, and collaboration. Our values shape a disciplined investment philosophy and a long-term outlook rooted in the belief that our clients’ trust must be earned consistently.
Our team has decades of experience investing at family offices, deploying significant amounts of capital.
