Venture Capital & Private Equity Investments

Venture Capital & Private Equity Investments

The capital available through MILLER is derived from the firm, its principal, and often co-institutional investors for a specific transaction; as such, we are opportunistic in our approach and have an efficient investment decision process. We are generally active investors and look to partner with owners and management teams of established middle-market companies located in North America, Europe, and Asia.

We seek those opportunities where the operational, financial, and transactional experience of our principal can add value beyond just capital. Our opportunistic approach also allows us to design a structure that is mutually beneficial. The following briefly highlights the characteristics of investments by MILLER.
