Chad Scripps started Black Lake Capital in 2013 after working at McKinsey, HIG, and several hedge funds. Based in Denver, Black Lake is an unapologetic “fundless sponsor” doing 1-2 deals per year. They focus on tech-enabled businesses, although Chad jokes that “if you’ve got email, we’ll call you tech enabled.” The approach is opportunistic & valuation-driven. Black Lake reviews roughly 2,500 opportunities per year to find those 1-2 acquisitions.
