Lewis & Clark Capital was formed in 2001 to invest the capital of its Managing Partner Thomas Hillman. Since then, Mr. Hillman and his associates have built Lewis & Clark Capital into one of the preeminent boutique private equity firms in the Midwest. Lewis and Clark Capital’s selective approach to investing enables it to focus its resources solely on those business opportunities with the potential to go “beyond success to significance.”
We focus on partnering with managers and entrepreneurs to execute on their strategic visions and build long term value. We have no set investment horizon and continue to own the first business we acquired over 10 years ago. Our approach is straight forward, people come first.

Performance is Our Mission
We are value investors—business analysts with a long-term time horizon focused on purchasing publicly traded companies that are competitively entrenched at significant discounts to our estimate of intrinsic worth. We believe performance is best achieved through disciplined commitment to our long-term investment philosophy by adhering to our core values. Our goal is to compound capital at real rates of return significantly in excess of inflation over our five-year time horizon. Believing that as owners and operators of the firm, our capital should be invested alongside our client partners, Vulcan employees have meaningful investments in Vulcan strategies.
At Vulcan, all analysts are generalists, and the firm operates according to a flat hierarchy structure where portfolio decisions are consensus driven. Vulcan is a majority employee-owned firm.
Vulcan Value Partners is an investment adviser registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940.
