Kohlberg & Company is an investment firm founded in 1987 with $17 billion in assets under management. The firm has executed over 95 platform investments and structured its investment approach around transformational strategies designed to accelerate growth and create value.
The firm's investment team comprises long-tenured professionals with an average tenure exceeding 20 years, developed through an apprenticeship model. This institutional continuity underpins Kohlberg & Company's investment methodology, which is anchored in a proprietary White Paper Program. The firm describes this program as central to its investment intentionality - a systematic approach to identifying and executing transformational opportunities across its portfolio.
With nearly four decades of operating experience, the firm positions itself around strategic value creation through operational improvement and growth acceleration rather than financial engineering alone. The emphasis on long-term professional relationships and structured investment discipline reflects an orientation toward sustained portfolio development and exit quality.
