Lafayette Square is a private credit firm lending capital to growing middle market companies in working-class places. The firm is driven by four key differentiators: a focus on non-sponsored deals, enhanced managerial assistance through its affiliated Worker Solutions® platform, a technology-first data-driven investment strategy through Potomac X Lafayette Square™, and institutional partnerships.
Lafayette Square’s thesis holds that working-class people and places are ignored by private credit creating an attractive investment opportunity subject to conservative underwriting, enhanced managerial assistance, and technology. Lafayette Square aims to support 100,000 working-class jobs, invest 50% of capital in working-class places, and curate benefits for 50% of its portfolio by 2030.
Lafayette Square Technologies drives innovation to enhance investment efficiency and decision-making with emerging technologies and deep industry expertise. We provide hyperlocal place-based analytics, Data/AI-driven investment tools, and technology consulting.
