3. VIRGINIA CAPITAL PARTNERS provides capital and expertise to help outstanding entrepreneurs
build market-leading companies. Our $50 million fund is provided by our managing partners and
a group of blue-chip financial firms, leading corporations and major endowments, including: Wells
Fargo, Bank of America, BB&T, Sun Trust, Verizon, American Electric Power, and the Virginia Retirement
System. Our investment partners have entrusted their capital to us until 2030. Because our funding is
virtually permanent, we have no near-term need for liquidity. Our open-ended exit strategy provides
our management partners with the freedom to realize liquidity when the timing is right from both the
company’s and the capital markets’ perspective.
We strive to partner with outstanding entrepreneurs and management. Our role is to support our
management partners as they implement their vision. Our management partnerships are carefully chosen
and have resulted in exceptionally high executive retention. Across more than thirty different portfolio
companies, senior management turnover is virtually zero.
If you have opportunities or ambition greater than your current resources, contact one of our partners.
We enjoy visiting with CEOs of growing companies, even if there isn’t an immediate capital need.

VIRGINIA CAPITAL INVESTS in growth companies across a variety of industries. A sampling of our investment
experience to date includes: business services, media and communications, consumer services, healthcare, and insurance.
Virginia Capital invests in companies at all stages of development from a new start-up to expansion of an existing business
to the acquisition of an established company.
Our portfolio companies share many common traits. Specifically, we focus on the following elements:
■ Experienced and results-oriented management
■ Established, scalable business model
■ Opportunity to accelerate revenue growth and expand free cash flow
■ History of profitability or an ability to reach profitability quickly after our funding
■ Opportunity for sustained growth of 15% to 20% per annum
■ Significant recurring revenues
■ Sustainable competitive advantage
Virginia Capital will invest from $1 million to $5 million per company and together with affiliates we can consummate
$20 million transactions. We are usually the first institutional investor and often the sole investor. Virginia Capital structures
transactions in order to foster long-term growth, ensure financial stability and meet the needs of the company’s owners.
Historically we have not invested in heavy manufacturing or technology companies with substantial dependence on
research and development.
