C&S Family Capital

C&S Capital Partners is a family office investment platform that focuses on direct private investments. The firm seeks to build a concentrated portfolio of private equity investments where its experience, relationships, and resources can be impactful. They invest their own capital and aim to partner with owners, operators, and investors who align with their values and objectives. C&S Capital Partners brings a sophisticated and experienced approach to private investing, combined with the flexibility and long-term perspective characteristic of a family office. The firm emphasizes value-added involvement, leveraging decades of private equity experience and extensive networks to actively support the growth of its portfolio companies.

The firm was founded by Jonathan Coslet, former Chief Investment Officer of TPG Global, as a platform to invest his personal family office capital into direct private investment opportunities. Laura Sims, who previously served as a Partner at Sageview Capital, joined C&S Capital Partners in 2018 as a Senior Partner. Jonathan Coslet transitioned fully to this platform after a 32-year tenure at TPG, which concluded in 2025. The firm targets established, growth-oriented, and profitable companies, with investment sizes typically ranging from $5 million to $25 million or more.
