About Us
Sprucewood Capital Management (SCM) is an investment firm that deploys capital in both public and private companies. We focus on businesses that have exemplary and visionary leadership and execute highly sustainable and differentiated business models with secular growth trends. Our investment approach applies both a fundamentally oriented, long-term philosophy and an understanding of global macroeconomic conditions.

Fundamental, value-oriented investment approach
SCM invests in public equities, corporate debt, and securitized products across a wide range of industries and geographies and looks to take advantage of the disconnect between prices and fundamental value. We seek to invest in high-quality run businesses with excellent leadership and management teams with the majority of our investment focus on long-term capital appreciation. We strive to understand the various types of risks and risk mitigation attributable to each investment thesis in order to execute well thought out trades and to generate outsized returns.
PRIVATE INVESTMENTS
Honesty, integrity, and collaboration
At SCM most of our capital is deployed to help businesses achieve faster organic growth, but we will also fund follow-on strategic acquisitions and help provide liquidity to current owners and investors. We invest along the different funding stages from Series A to pre-IPO as lead investor or participate in funding rounds led by other reputable investment firms.
We utilize a bottom-up fundamental research approach, but do not shy away from a multi-disciplinary philosophy should it provide additional insight during our investment process. We look for companies that solve challenging problems with differentiated solutions, participate in large markets, and provide likely exit scenarios for investors. We prefer to build long-term relationships with highly passionate and visionary entrepreneurs to develop the right strategic decisions and positions. SCM goes into each process with honesty and integrity and spends as much time as possible to understand the business and its owners and to provide the resources and expertise necessary to help the business grow.
