Clearview Capital, through its Clearview Capital Fund IV LP, has recapitalized Inventive LLC.
Founded in 2006, Inventive designs, develops and manufactures products for the towing, fishing, ATV/UTV and garage end markets. Inventive will continue to be led by Chuck Ceccarelli, the company’s executive director and founder, who retained a significant equity stake in the recapitalized business. Inventive represents Fund IV’s fourth platform investment in the outdoor industry and the sixth platform investment in the outdoor industry across all Clearview Capital funds. The investment was made in collaboration with Vertikal Brands, a team established by Clearview.
“Inventive’s domestic manufacturing capabilities coupled with the Vertikal Brands team’s market expertise, product development capabilities and marketing proficiency will enable the company to continue to expand into broader markets and accelerate growth,” comments Matt Blevins, managing partner of Clearview Capital.
