Welcome to the second podcast of Perspectives of The Ever-Evolving Independent Sponsor Universe. This podcast will discuss a specific investment, SpinnakerSCA, and the ups and downs that were experienced from when the investment was made in early 2021 to the successful exit in mid 2024. Joe Rodgers, Managing Director at Source Capital, is joined by Chad Scripps, Managing Partner at Black Lake Capital, the independent sponsor that acquired the Company, and John Sharkey and Evan McCaig – both from the Company.

They discuss the factors that lead to a successful partnership, as well as the challenges that arose, some of which threatened the deal; and others which ultimately led to a stronger outcome for all participants.

Learn about the importance of flexibility, learning that sometimes losing a deal isn’t the end of it, and the importance of people in a successful Independent Sponsor deal.
