Peak Street Management

Overview

Peak Street Management is a private investment company founded by Elliott Bisnow and is focused on the following:

Supporting two operating businesses co-owned by Peak Street - Summit and Powder Mountain
Monitoring 40+ Peak Street investments including direct equity investments, real estate holdings and LP allocations in leading private equity funds, venture funds and hedge funds
Deploying investment capital via structured debt to high-growth cash-flowing businesses at a lower cost of capital than traditional equity
Deploying capital into global markets with a primary focus on media and technology
Managing investment vehicles for independent investors, institutions and family offices to co-invest alongside Peak Street

Background

We operate with the highest level of personal and professional integrity and believe in transparency as a core value
As a private investment company, our investment horizon is broader and our hold period substantially longer than a typical closed-end fund – we evaluate each investment and partnership as if we were going to be in business together for the next 30 years
Our entrepreneurial backgrounds and connection to the global entrepreneurial ecosystem through Elliott and the Summit network allow us to add significant value to our investment partners
Our 26 years of combined investment experience across private equity, structured debt, venture capital, and public equities affords us a unique perspective expressed through detailed, proprietary analysis and an ability to look at an investment from a variety of perspectives

Strategy

We have a broad and flexible investment mandate under which we evaluate future investment opportunities and partnerships - from real estate to private equity and debt investments to venture / growth equity. Our preferred strategy is to deploy investment capital to fund high-growth initiatives in cash-flow positive companies via structured debt.
