Relationship-Focused Private Equity
“When a founder or business owner chooses Borgman Capital as their partner and successor, we take that trust seriously. As stewards of their legacy, our goal is to ensure the business thrives under our care.”
A certified public accountant with 20+ years of M&A experience, Sequoya Borgman founded Borgman Capital in 2017 with the goal of building a relationship-focused investment firm that prioritizes trust and transparency. Nineteen company acquisitions later, and fueled by our entrepreneurial spirit, we still believe that strong relationships are the foundation of successful deals and long-term value creation.
We understand that exiting a business is a pivotal and emotional moment for sellers. Our commitment is to ensure a smooth transition that fosters growth while preserving the business’ legacy. Once a deal is closed, we don’t take lightly the responsibility we have to provide expert guidance, make thoughtful change and improvements, and ensure the business and its employees continue to thrive. The same is true for our real estate practice, wherein we approach transaction as a collaborative partnership while ensuring every investment reaches its full potential.

“Sequoya, I was just thinking how happy I am that Char and I sold Gilman to you in 2019. You have treated our staff with kindness and generosity just as we hoped you would.
