Mark Sullivan Lineage Capital

Mark Sullivan rips the bandaid off of decades of repressed memories about past dealings with Andy and Charlie to join the show Mark is co-founder and partner at Lineage Capital, one of the leading private equity firms devoted to leaving growth-minded business owners with board control, even after selling a majority stake. If this sounds familiar, it’s because Lineage and Charlie’s firm New Heritage Capital (NHC) evolved out of a common predecessor. Discussions commence with Mark and Charlie’s apocalyptic meeting in 1998, then circles back to Mark’s Atlanta childhood, college at Washington & Lee and early career. Superb discussion about non-control investing and some fancy footwork from Andy when Mark asks who he would show a deal to first — Lineage or NHC.
