Stated investment criteria
What Lakeshore Capital says it buys
Read from Lakeshore Capital’s own website in August 2026. This is what the firm says it buys, not what anyone has recorded it buying, and figures are shown in the currency the firm itself used - nothing here is converted. Every line links to the page it was read from.
| Enterprise value it states | $5m to $30m1 |
| Minimum EBITDA it states | $1m1 |
| Transaction types | Platform, Distressed1 |
| Offices | Chicago2 |
A stated mandate is a firm’s description of itself and was true of the page on the day it was read; firms widen and narrow what they will look at without updating the site. Nothing here is a commitment by Lakeshore Capital to consider any particular business, and nothing on this page is represented as being for sale.
SEC filings
What Lakeshore Capital has raised
From this firm's own Form D filings. A fund files one within fifteen days of its first sale, under penalty of perjury, which makes these the hardest numbers on the page.
| Vehicles filed | 3 |
| Total capital raised | $25m |
| Largest single vehicle | $25m |
| Filing history | 2013 to 2024 |
| Smallest accepted commitment | None stated |
| Filed from | CAYMAN ISLANDS |
Form D covers US-domiciled vehicles raised from accredited investors. It will not capture a fund raised outside the United States, separately managed accounts, or capital deployed off balance sheet, so treat these as a floor rather than a total.
Regulatory record
How Lakeshore Capital is registered
From this firm's Form ADV, the annual filing every registered and exempt investment adviser makes to the SEC.
| Adviser status | SEC registered |
| Regulatory assets under management | $181m |
| Employees | 3 |
| SEC adviser number | CRD 325609 |
