Mosaic Private Equity

Mosaic Private Equity, known as mpe, is a UK private equity business formed in 2006 by Paul Newton and Mike Rogan, who had worked together in private equity since 1999. It targets a gap in the market for smaller equity deals that larger houses tend to overlook.

Services

• Equity funding: bespoke investment assessed deal by deal rather than through a traditional closed fund.
• Management support: a long-term relationship focused on creating value beyond capital.
• Underwritten deals: the equity for each transaction is committed internally.
• Direct access: management teams deal with the owners themselves, with no remote investment committees.

Who it works with

Management teams and their advisers across the UK that need more than money. The money comes from the founders and a small group of wealthy individuals who built their own businesses and want exposure to private equity.
