COGNITIVE CAPITAL PARTNERS

It is an old truism that a company's most important assets walk out the door every night. Many of
today’s best performing businesses owe their success not to unique physical assets but rather to its
people and to a “DNA” or culture, which gives them a competitive advantage in manufacturing
goods or delivering services. Cognitive Capital Partners invests in businesses where human and
intellectual capital is the key driver of value in the company.

COGNITIVE CAPITAL PARTNERS
Investing + Operating Expertise

Why Have We Chosen Human Capital Intensive
Businesses?
•        Human, organizational and intellectual capital
        driven businesses are the fastest growing and
        most dynamic sector of the economy
•        Private equity firms have often not embraced
        these types of firms because of the greater
        complexity involved in executing transactions
•        Cognitive Capital has assembled a team with the
        experience and expertise to buy and manage
        these businesses successfully

Cognitive Capital seeks investments in lower middle-market companies with earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and
amortization (“EBITDA”) of $5 million to $20 million that meet our investment criteria.
