Tap Root Capital Management LP

Tap Root Capital provides discretionary investment management to pooled private funds and related parallel and co-investment vehicles structured for accredited and qualified institutional investors. The firm focuses on middle‑market buyout, growth equity and special situations, and its funds invest primarily through strategic equity and debt commitments in new and existing fund managers, their general partner entities and related vehicles.

The firm’s approach centers on forming strategic partnerships with emerging or extension‑stage platform managers by providing corporate build‑out advisory, cornerstone first‑close capital, fundraising and investor relations support, and post‑close value‑creation assistance. Tap Root Capital emphasizes intensive due diligence on manager track records and attribution analysis and uses deal teams, co‑investment vehicles and continuation structures to execute and oversee investments.

Two features that distinguish Tap Root Capital from many peers are its use of predecessor or manager track records in fundraising materials and its affiliation with a registered broker‑dealer, SevenPoint Partners LLC. The brochure discloses that SevenPoint may provide placement and other broker‑dealer services to target sponsors and receive placement and advisory fees that are not applied to reduce Fund management fees, and that Tap Root makes seed investments in managers that entitle the Funds to revenues of those sponsors — arrangements that can create conflicts addressed in the Fund governing documents.
