Eagle Merchant Partners, an Atlanta, GA-based private equity firm, closed its second fund, Eagle Merchant Partners Fund II, with $415m in capital commitments.
The fund received support from institutional investors, family offices, high net worth individuals, and members of Eagle’s team.
Led by Stockton Croft and Bill Lundstrom, Eagle Merchant Partners is a private equity firm focused on control investments in founder-owned, lower middle-market companies in the Southeastern United States.
Fund II continues Eagle’s strategy of making control investments in founder-owned companies across the Southeastern United States, with a focus on the franchise, multi-unit and commercial services sectors.
The fund will target opportunities where Eagle can serve as a company’s first institutional partner, providing not only capital but operational support through its established playbook. This includes investing in leadership and infrastructure, driving organic growth through geographic expansion and executing strategic add-on acquisitions.
Eagle’s inaugural $266m fund closed in July 2023 and is fully deployed across eight platform investments.
