Skyline Investors, a newly launched Los Angeles-based private capital firm specialising in investments to bolster local economies, has closed its inaugural fund, reaching its target of $125m.
Skyline Investors Fund I attracted a diverse mix of investors aligned with Skyline’s solution-oriented strategy, including high-net-worth individuals and financial institutions with a shared focus on impactful community investing.
Led by Managing Partners Jeremy May and Kevin Tom, Skyline focuses on providing creative capital solutions to underserved, high-potential businesses in the micromarket across a diverse array of sectors, including healthcare, consumer and business services, technology, and domestic manufacturing.
By partnering with smaller founder-led and family-owned businesses that traditional capital providers have historically overlooked, the firm aims to drive growth, create jobs, and stimulate local economies.
Skyline was founded in partnership with Standard Communities, one of the largest national affordable housing developers.
The firm is currently deploying capital from Fund I, with investments in companies ranging from $5m to $50m in revenue.
Skyline has already made investments in Majik, a rent-to-own furniture, appliance, and home goods provider; AWI Management Corporation, a property management and compliance services business; and Groth Pain Management, an interventional pain management practice.
