THERMO COMPANIES

Thermo Capital Partners LLC, ("TCP") headquartered in Denver, CO., was formed to provide growth capital to small and medium sized companies. TCP believes that the consolidation of the financial services and banking industries is not adequately serving those businesses and anticipates that the trend will continue with the further globalization of the financial services industry. The firm is interested in the areas where it sees significant opportunity and has strong capabilities, proprietary deal flow and excellent reputation.
